About this artwork
Black Eye Galaxy is to a painting as a carnival mirror is to a standard mirror. Like a carnival mirror, depending on where you stand and look at the piece you see different things. The piece is also a mirror that reflects the viewer back to him. At once you see yourself reflected in the universe and the universe reflected in you.

This series was originally commissioned by a New York Art dealer who came for a studio visit bearing several black canvas scraps and a large circular sign and asked if I wanted them.

« 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.
