About the artwork
At the center of the composition rests an altered one-hundred-dollar banknote, mounted in a pale passe-partout and encased in an ornate, relief-carved frame painted in uniform matte green. In place of Benjamin Franklin, a carefully rendered chimpanzee gazes forward in colonial attire, seamlessly embedded into the federal engraving. The right edge of the bill is unevenly burned and torn, exposing scorched fibers beside the blue security ribbon and classic currency detailing. Ilya Chichkan is an ironic and provocative painter regarded as a key figure of Ukraine’s New Wave movement, known for repurposing classical iconography and institutional emblems with dark humor. Measuring 43 × 41 cm, the piece creates a sharp dialogue between historic ornamental framing and contemporary institutional critique, making it a compelling conversation piece for a study, library, or modern collector’s salon.Details
