Sebastian, Golden Hour (Santa Fe Collection)
Sabastian, Santa Fe Skies (Santa Fe Collection), 20 x 20, acrylic on canvas, unframed, 2024
The Santa Fe Collection was created primarily by survivors of the Coulston Foundation in Alamogordo, New Mexico, a biomedical laboratory with the worst record of primate care in the history of the Animal Welfare Act.. These rescued chimps are now living in sanctuary at Save the Chimps in Fort Pierce, Florida. Just like humans, a few of these survivors enjoy the practice of painting, and find art therapeutic in healing from a traumatic past.
About the artist, Sebastian: I was born June 20, 1994, at the Coulston Foundation research laboratory in Alamogordo, NM, to my mother, Karen, and father, Bubba. I remained with my mother for two days before being forcibly removed from her and taken to the laboratory nursery. Based on my records, I was never assigned to a biomedical research study. I shared a cage with five other male chimps my age.
In 2002, Save the Chimps took over the Coulston Foundation and rescued me. Today I live on a three-acre island at Save the Chimps in Fort Pierce, FL. I am a member of a large chimpanzee family known as Ron’s Family. I am energetic and playful, and I enjoy painting as an enrichment activity.
This collection is part of the groundbreaking show, Interspecies: Human and Chimp Art Collaborations, July 13 - August 25, 2024
