The Michael Summers giclée on canvas, titled “Happy Hour,” captures an imaginative moment of leisure and camaraderie in the animal kingdom. This delightful work of art features two monkeys as they engage in a playful and human-like ritual of relaxation and enjoyment, a scene that exudes charm and whimsy.
Under the shelter of broad leaves, which themselves drip with a rainbow of vibrant, melting colors, one monkey sits contentedly sipping from a cocktail glass, its expression one of serene satisfaction. The other, with a curious and watchful gaze, seems to be waiting for its turn, or perhaps just enjoying the company and the colorful “rain”. The leaves serve as umbrellas, providing respite from the colorful deluge, a clever nod to the painting’s title.
The background, a curtain of paint streaks, creates a striking contrast against the monkeys’ natural tones. It suggests a world where the usual rules are suspended, and the joy of the “happy hour” can be found in the most unexpected of places and forms.
“Happy Hour” is more than a mere depiction of wildlife; it is a playful allegory of relaxation, indulgence, and social interaction. It suggests that these moments of respite from life’s demands are not just a human desire but a universal pursuit of happiness and comfort.
This giclée on canvas is an ideal piece for those looking to add a touch of humor and lightheartedness to their collection. Whether displayed in a home bar, a living space, or an office, “Happy Hour” is sure to inspire smiles and serve as a charming reminder to take time to enjoy life’s simple pleasures.
