'No sudden movements!' \u2014 that is the first instruction given before entering the forest to meet the mountain gorillas. Do not run, do not hold their gaze too long, make no sudden movement. I wanted to paint exactly that moment of suspension \u2014 when you find yourself face to face with one of them, and you understand, without needing it explained, why that rule exists.<\/p>\n

This silverback is standing, one arm raised, its gaze fixed on you. It is not charging \u2014 it is evaluating. There is in that posture an absolute authority, that of a being that needs justify nothing. I worked the black fur in the mist, the diffuse light that envelops it, to render this suspended atmosphere, this silence that precedes.<\/p>\n

To paint a gorilla is to paint something almost human. That hand, that gaze, that expressiveness \u2014 no one can remain indifferent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
