Zen Xander’s Ultra Editions are not just prints; they are an extension of the original work, created with the same dedication and precision that he puts into his one-of-a-kind pieces. These prints are meticulously produced to mirror the exact dimensions, color vibrancy, and texture of the original. The A1 size allows for every intricate detail, from the sharpness of the stenciling to the depth of the colors, to be fully appreciated—just as Zen Xander intended.

Creating Macro Monkey
"Macro Monkey" stands as one of Zen Xander’s most iconic pieces, encapsulating his unique blend of humor and societal critique. The artwork features a contemplative monkey holding a banana, but instead of savoring it as nature intended, the monkey is focused on the detailed nutritional information printed on the fruit. This ironic twist serves as a commentary on modern society's obsession with data and consumer information, even in the most basic, natural aspects of life.
Crafting 'Macro Monkey': A Meticulous Layered Process
The creation of "Macro Monkey" is a testament to Zen Xander’s meticulous process. Each element of the monkey was crafted using carefully cut stencils, applied in layers to create a strikingly realistic effect. The banana, with its exaggerated nutritional label, is rendered in a way that contrasts sharply with the simplicity of the fruit, further emphasizing the absurdity of overanalyzing something so fundamental.
Adding to its cultural significance, "Macro Monkey" has found a place in the home of football legend Harry Redknapp. The piece, beloved by Redknapp, underscores its broad appeal, transcending the traditional boundaries of street art and reaching into the homes of iconic figures. This placement in Redknapp's collection highlights the artwork's impact and resonance with a wide audience, cementing its status as a contemporary classic.
