British painter Julie Fountain captivates the eye with her series of diminutive monkey business oils, creating portraits of primates with personality. Particularly remarkable is her placement of the subject against striking, colourful backgrounds not meant to emulate nature in the least. Fountain’s use of neon brights causes the apes to jump right out of the jungle and into an urban landscape.
