The chimp who done more than 400 painting

The method of painting is to apply paint, pigment, colour or other media on a solid surface (called the “matrix” or “support”). It is generally applied using a brush to the base, but can also be used with various tools like knives, sponges and airbrush. The term painting describes the act as well as the outcome of the act (the final work is called “a painting”). Paints may have surface areas such as walls, paper, toilets, wood, glass, lacquer, pottery, leaf, copper and cement and may be painted with several different materials, including, for example, sand, clay, paper, plaster, gold leaf, and other things.

Painting is an important form in the visual arts that brings together aspects such as drawing, composition, gesture, narration and abstract art, (as in gestural painting) (as in abstract art). Paintings may be naturalistic and representational (like painting in silence and in the landscape), photographic, abstract, narrative, symbolic (as in symbolic art), emotive, or political (as in Artivism).

Religious art dominates a part of the history of painting in Eastern as well as Western art. Exhibits such as art representing mythological pottery figurines, biblical scenes on the roof of the Sistine chapel, and scenes from Buddha’s life. Such paintings include (or other images of Eastern religious origin).

Some interesting facts related to painting
