About this artwork
This work is inspired by and dedicated to German artist Anselm Kiefer whom Monaghan's work has been compared to early in his career. One of Monaghan's New York dealer's asked him to create a series of paintings dedicated and inspired by Kiefer. This piece and another entitled "3 Orbs" are the result of this work. This view is from looking down Central Park's Bethesda Fountain, one of Monaghan's favorite places. To the left is the East River, to…
the right is the Hudson. The central path takes the viewer straight up to the heavens.
The piece is heavily textured with Monaghan's familiar egg shells as well as sand, dirt and various other natural elements.

« 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.
