Pink buys $5,000 acrylic painting by chimps Patty and Kramer to raise funds for Florida animal sanctuary
FORT PIERCE, FLORIDA: Pop singer Pink who is an animal lover, expressed her love by bringing home thousands worth of paintings done by chimpanzees. The ‘So What’ singer now owns an acrylic painting art piece created by two chimpanzees, Patty and Kramer worth $5,000. The pair lives at the Save the Chimps sanctuary with 226 other members, claims the spokesperson from the organization. The work done by these chimps will be on exhibition in the first-ever art exhibit opening at Miami’s Art Basel, on November 30.
The funds generated will be then be used for the benefit of the animal sanctuary in Fort Pierce, Florida, which is home to one of the largest chimpanzee sanctuaries on the planet. "Chimps share 98% of our DNA. They are similar to humans emotionally, physically, and even creatively,” said Ana Paula Tavares, CEO of Save the Chimps. Pink bought the painting online, that has been labeled a "masterpiece." It is a blue, white, and pink piece of art, and created on black canvas. The ‘Never Gonna Not Dance Again’ singer was excited when she heard that painting is therapeutic to chimps, just like to humans, reports People.
