About the artwork
The composition presents two US two-dollar bills aligned vertically within a wide off-white mat. On the upper banknote, the central portrait of Thomas Jefferson is replaced with an ape in 18th-century attire, contrasting with the standard presidential likeness on the bill beneath it. The work is signed along the inner margin and presented in a deep-relief, baroque-style frame finished in a solid dark green. Ilya Chichkan is a leading figure of Ukraine’s “New Wave,” recognized for his provocative and ironic approach to art, often using simian imagery to subvert established cultural and historical motifs. Measuring 43 × 41 cm, this compact piece balances traditional decorative framing with satirical pop art sensibility, making it an engaging focal point for an office, library, or curated collection wall.Details
