About this artwork
From the 'Trapped' series - Superhero figurines trapped by banal domesticity. The limitless power of the superhero is reduced to a piece of multi-coloured plastic and held in check by common household products. In the comics, Batman, for example, may be able to escape from the most complex, dangerous trap but his plastic toy equivalent is no match for simple elastic bands or masking tape.

« "My fascination with pop culture and ephemera inspires me to create illusionistic paintings made using classical techniques." »
Simon Monk is a painter who resides in the United Kingdom and has exhibited in Canada, the United States, Switzerland, France, Australia, and the UK. Through his works, he conveys the idea of inhabiting two worlds at once – one being an every-day reality and one filled with fantasy and imagination. Monk is continuously fascinated by how painting can dignify a cheap or otherwise insignificant object. He applies many layers of translucent colors and uses high-quality oils and alkyds in his pieces.
