The three monkeys - Schipper Triptychon 40 x 120 cm

The three monkeys

The motif of the „Three monkeys” has originated from Japan and is to encourage people to shut their eyes, ears and mouth to the bad things in life. The symbol of the “three monkeys” (in its modified version) has also found its way into our western world. Today, it stands for an increasing indifference and a lack of moral courage in our society. This tryptich is a contemporary realization of this famous “Three monkeys” motif. In a colorful representation, they are shown with trendy daily objects such as a pair of mirrored glasses, a face mask and headphones.

Picture format and painting template:

“MASTERPIECE Triptych” 120 x 40 cm. A triptych is a picture composed of three individual paintings. All three pictures are of the same size: 40 x 40 cm and cover a wall space of approx. 120 x 40 cm if positioned side by side. The painting templates have a visible and palpable canvas structure. Due to this feature, the finished painting’s appearance is not only essentially enhanced but it also emphasizes the artistic character of the paintings by supporting the desired “oil on canvas” effect.
