About the Item
Blending street culture, science fiction, and Italian fine art craftsmanship, Monkey in Space is a one-of-a-kind 30 x 8 inch microetched leather work by Francesco La Rosa. Shaped like a skateboard deck, the piece features a striking depiction of an astronaut chimpanzee, rendered with astonishing detail using La Rosa’s signature etching technique. The artist carves directly into jet-black leather, creating a luminous, almost sculptural image that shifts with the light.
Accents of cobalt blue and a hand-colored American flag patch bring a burst of color and symbolism to the narrative—evoking themes of ambition, exploration, and identity. Both playful and profound, Monkey in Space merges the tactile richness of traditional craft with the spirit of contemporary storytelling.
Ideal for collectors of space-inspired artwork, alternative materials, and cutting-edge design, this piece is a bold statement at the intersection of futurism and fine art.
