Artist Talk: The Art of Primates
by Robert Wills
Location: Muddy Waters, 184 Main Street. Artist Robert Wills paints monkeys as a means of raising the consciousness of people regarding the situation of primates. When not painting, he helps people in many countries take better care of these close relatives. “As I paint, my hope is for the primate’s soul to expose itself to the viewer, its intelligence, curiosity, love and commitment,” said Wills. “I hope that their lives help to enrich our knowledge and awareness for their delicate survival before they are only known in history books.” The artist will deliver a brief talk about how he uses his artwork to raise awareness and inspire action. The event is free and open to the public.
