_ Craig Larotonda’s angry monkeys appeared at just the right time. On the day I saw these I was not sure if I was supposed to find the representations amusing or be frightened. It had been a long day. Several without sleep. These seemed fitting images to see precisely at this moment.

It was kismet Sleep deprivation meets an angry monkey holding a bloody human bone.

Likewise I did not make note of who was actually showing the pieces. You can, however, find out more about Buffalo, New York’s Latonda at the Revelation Art website.
