Artwork Description:
This drawing by Nicholaas Chiao depicts African monsters engaged in a violent conflict. The work can be interpreted as an artistic response to the oeuvres of Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse, and serves as a metaphor for recurring conflicts between contrasting forces: the small, fast, and beautiful versus the large, powerful, and imposing.
