About this artwork
Christmas Tree was created as a gift for Monaghan's artist mother and is only recently available. This piece is a modern take on a traditional Christmas Tree in the woods. This splatter based piece incorporates Monaghan's ever existing spheres as well as the faces of spirits and entities in the background. Inspired by Jackson Pollack's splatter works Monaghan uses various colors and marks to create an other worldly feel to the work.

« 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.
