About the artwork
The piece centers on a modified one-hundred-dollar bill mounted within a wide mat, featuring a charred, singed left edge. In place of Benjamin Franklin, a chimpanzee's face is rendered directly into the oval portrait vignette, blending painterly grey and black strokes with the intricate engraved green patterns of the banknote. Ilya Chichkan is an ironic and provocative painter and a central figure of Ukraine's "New Wave" movement. His work frequently reinterprets established cultural and economic symbols through a sharp, satirical lens. Measuring 43 × 41 cm, the piece serves as an arresting conversational accent suited for a contemporary living space, library, or curated collection of modern conceptual art.Details
