Cihan Öncü, Photographer, Istanbul

Description

This striking monochrome photographic work by Istanbul-based artist Cihan Oncu captures a vervet monkey seated on a ledge with its mouth wide open in a vocalizing or yawning expression. The animal is lit with harsh direct flash lighting, creating high contrast against a solid black background. Yellow sans-serif typography is overlaid in the upper left corner reading Cihan Oncu and MOTUS, along with dates and location details in the lower left corner and a geometric yellow shape in the bottom right. The composition combines sharp flash capture with graphic design elements to create a bold, artistic poster format.
