About this artwork
Whenever Monaghan is making paintings he always has a collage in process on another wall, usually in another room. This is all part of his process of making art. Collaging for Monaghan has always been a form of channeling information, ideas and inspiration. They are vision boards that help him process his day to day problems, ideas and concepts. A puzzle that translates the 24 hour news cycle, Monaghan's particular focus, and last, his direction…
with the work.
This collage is the first in a series of works that use cannibus flower bags found on the streets of New York City, most specifically Harlem. Post legalization of Cannibus in New York City, the bags are ubiquitous on the streets of the city and especially Harlem where Monaghan's partner has her gallery.
Monaghan's post Pandemic collages move, much like the city, in a different direction.

« My work is about finding what exists in the accidental or random, finding inspiration in the dance, and celebration of the practice. This is my making process. »
Todd Monaghan explores spontaneous intuition and the subconscious mind through 'flicking, spilling, dripping, and scraping' paint into multi-layered, textural, and immersive works. The American painter and sculptor's pieces are created through impulsive movements that welcome chance and experimentation. Monaghan does not paint using an easel, instead preferring to pin his canvases to the walls of his studio. He places them on the floor and back onto the walls, searching for new discoveries every time.
