Many of her new sculptural works and paintings depict lascivious orangutans or baboons or other simians all at play all tugging at the genetic memory found in each of our cells.
Anja Priska´s paintings conjure dream-like dramatic-erotic scenes that are both playful and provocative and often riddled with a subtle deadpan dry humour.
These monkeys – primarily female protagonists – are full of exotic strength and cheeky undertones that give way to a blooming symbolism.
Monkeys being our loose relatives in the evolutionary line make for the ideal choice to pull on the strings of human imagination and association and tell stories that blur the lines between dramas and dreams, fiction and reality, love and war, weakness and strength.
