Travis Louie, Wallace The Great, acrylic on board, 18 x 14"
|
Wallace was the founder of a finishing school for "wayward primates". He started the school to help his fellow orangutans become "primates of industry and commerce" after experiencing much discrimination in his youth. He had worked his way up the ranks in a few investment banking firms only to hit a glass ceiling of sorts as many of the board members of these establishments did not want to see a "monkey" rise so high, so they always found a reason to get rid of him. Wallace had the last laugh though. |
