A chimp sits on a battered soda crate with a spray can in hand. He looks about as pleased with himself as any tagger who just finished the wall behind him. Around him are stacked Campbell's tomato cans, splashes of paint and magazine clippings, and above him three red words drip down the scene: FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS. That's the monkey's advice, and he seems to have taken it himself.

The look comes straight out of the Mr. Brainwash school of street pop. Thierry Guetta, the French-born artist behind that name, went from filming street artists to becoming one. Most of the world met him in Banksy's documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop. His signature move is the remix: take the icons everybody already knows, pile them up, and splash paint over the lot.

The Campbell's cans are a nod to Andy Warhol, who made that soup label one of the most famous images in pop art back in the early 1960s. Chimps have been street art regulars for years. Banksy has painted them more than once, usually with a wink at us humans. Put the two together and you get a primate preaching ambition from the top of a soda crate.

This piece is newly made. It's digital art in that pop-graffiti style, set behind tempered glass so the cherry reds and cobalt blues stay loud. Hang it wherever somebody needs a nudge, because this chimp isn't going to stop encouraging them.

A chimp in pop-graffiti collage perches on a battered Retro Soda Classic crate among Campbell's tomato cans while red FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS letters drip overhead, every magazine clipping and stenciled spray caught in Brainwash-graffiti register. Monkey Advice is digital art in pop-graffiti register — a chimp manifesto caught in cherry-and-cobalt theater.

Behind tempered glass, the cherry-and-cobalt palette keeps its layered electricity and the collage detail holds its tactile splash, the polished surface giving the figurative pop piece a quiet cinematic depth.

A natural fit for rooms that welcome bold, energetic palette — a gaming room with statement pulse, a teen lounge with editorial wit, a living room with cinematic drama. For pop-art lovers, Brainwash collectors, and anyone drawn to figurative imagery with chimp-and-Campbell's poetry.
