Gorilla artwork

Titled ‘Pink Pink Stink Nice Drink’, painted by Koko the gorilla. Apparently ‘Pink Pink Stink’ was Koko’s description of a field of pink wildflowers that grew on the facility grounds, and ‘Nice Drink’ referred to the stream that ran through the middle of the flower field.

Titled ‘Apple Chase’, painted by Michael the gorilla. Apple was Michael’s pet dog and their favorite game was playing chase. Michael painted this portrait from memory, sticking to blacks, whites, and greys despite having been presented with a full palette.

Both of these as well as many more were found at Koko.org
