In the darkness of early dawn before the rise of the sun, a sense of quietude is interrupted by the cry of the baboon. This visual sense of polar opposites, from the intriguing quiet watchfulness to an excited gaping yawn showing daunting teeth, the male Mandrill Baboon is portrayed in its diversified facial beauty. Emerging from the dark background washes, the distinctive blue and red face of the male baboon are fully detailed in this visual depiction of the primates dual emotional facial expressions. The distinctive color markings of the observant baboon lead the viewer up and into the emotional response of the alert yawn that male Mandrills exhibit when confronted with danger or to exhort their dominance. Here you find and enter into the natural awe that the baboon emotes, as the painting concludes its visual journey with the full glory of the scream of the baboon.
