Buy the “Elie Stevenson” Painting by Manat – A Singular and Striking Work

The painting “Elie Stevenson” by contemporary artist Manat is a work that captivates through its bold visual impact and intriguing message. Measuring 73 x 50 cm, this painting depicts an anthropomorphic chimpanzee, impeccably dressed in a suit, lighting a cigar with intense concentration. This unexpected scene commands attention through its technical precision and symbolic depth.

The central figure, a chimpanzee, adopts an impressively human attitude. The texture of its skin, meticulously rendered, merges with the details of the elegant attire—a dark jacket, a crisply buttoned white shirt, and a sleek black watch that lends the character a sophisticated air. This juxtaposition of animal and human dress codes creates a striking and ironic contrast.

The chimpanzee’s gesture, as it lights the cigar, is charged with dramatic intensity. Its powerful fingers, veins and wrinkles carefully depicted, give the painting a near-photographic dimension. The captured moment, poised between the flickering flame of the lighter and the symbolic flame of vanity or power, seems to embody a profound reflection on human vices and our relationship with consumption.

Manat’s color palette, dominated by dark tones, lends the painting a moody, mysterious atmosphere. The shades of gray and black, punctuated by the warm glow of the flame and the watch’s metallic gleam, heighten the solemnity of the scene. The precision of the textures—from the roughness of the chimpanzee’s skin to the metallic reflections of the watch—reveals the artist’s mastery of light and material.

Manat, known for his satirical approach and technical virtuosity, uses the chimpanzee figure here as an ironic mirror of modern humanity. The cigar and luxury watch become symbolic props, questioning vanity, superficiality, and the compulsion to appear. Through this work, the artist invites us to reflect on social codes and the pretenses of contemporary society.

Offered by Galerie Bouillon d’art in Bordeaux, this “Elie Stevenson” painting by Manat is a powerful piece that would make a striking addition to a contemporary art collection or an interior seeking a provocative and elegant statement. Buying this painting means acquiring a unique, thought-provoking vision, where humor and technique merge to create a lasting visual and intellectual impact.
