We share almost 99% of our DNA with chimpanzees, yet the distance between our worlds has never felt greater. Fractured Kin explores that paradox—our closest living relatives, separated from us by habitat loss, exploitation and time.
Painted with expressive, fragmented brushstrokes, this portrait captures a chimpanzee whose wide, searching eyes seem to ask questions we cannot answer. The fractured marks are intentional, symbolising the broken bond between humans and the natural world, while the soft blue background offers a quiet sense of hope amid the chaos.
Rather than portraying the animal with perfect realism, I wanted to paint emotion—to create a moment of connection that encourages the viewer to look beyond the species and recognise something deeply familiar. Fractured Kin is a reminder that although our paths have diverged, we remain part of the same story.
Printed using premium archival inks on high-quality fine art paper, each Giclée print maintains the depth and vibrancy of the original work. Presented in an acid-free, deep Hayseed mount, the piece is both contemporary and timeless in presentation.
Available in three sizes to complement a range of spaces, ‘Fractured Kin’ comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, affirming its originality and quality. A perfect addition for Chimp lovers or those drawn to expressive, spirit-rich wildlife art.
