Mixed MediaDescription
In The Brokers, Flatter Zenda delivers a sharp, humorous critique of materialism and human behavior through the depiction of two chimpanzees dressed in flashy suits, clutching stacks of dollar bills. The piece blurs the line between satire and social commentary, using primates as metaphors for the instinctual greed and performative success that often drive modern society. Zenda’s textured strokes and expressive use of color give the figures a tactile realism, while the graffiti-like background adds a chaotic urban rhythm—suggesting the noise and pressure of a capitalist world obsessed with wealth and image. The painting’s bold palette, layered composition, and ironic tone reflect Zenda’s playful yet provocative voice, questioning who truly holds the power in a world where money dictates value.Try it!
