About this artwork
One of Monaghan's earliest self portraits. It is a painting of him dancing in the Skate Circle in Central Park, in New York City. This painting celebrates the iconic dance circle in the middle of Central Park in New York City, USA. A place Monaghan considers his backyard since his studio is on the Upper Westside at 104th Street. This world renowned place is famous for its impromptu dance circles, roller skaters, skateboarders and beach volleyball…
courts. It is a place for joy seeking and full expression. A place where everyone is equal, no one asks any question of who or where you are from, only if you are there to seek the joy of your own expression.

« 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.
