TBH its better than some humans modern art I have seen…
A painting by a 37-year-old chimpanzee has won $10,000 (£6,450) for a Chimp Haven sanctuary in north-west Louisiana.The primate, who uses his tongue to apply colour instead of a brush, received the most votes in the chimpanzee art contest organised by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). Five other sanctuaries competed, using paintings created during “enrichment sessions”, but Brent’s delicate smears of blue, violet, yellow and turquoise triumphed before the judge.
Renowned primatologist and conservationist Jane Goodhall picked her favourite piece from the selection of entries, which were voted for by 27,000 online participants. Runners-up included the former performance monkey Patti, who painted with urgent swipes of primary colours; Jamie, who escaped from a lifetime of biomedical research to create an abstract image in violet and pink; and former lab monkey Cheetah, whose burst of hot reds and yellows earned him second place.
