About this artwork
Energy Ball was created in 1998 as a collaboration with my mentor Gregory Ilich. This piece is an early study into energy and energy flow which later manifest in his short film The Illumination.
This short film was turned into a feature film script that was then converted into a graphic novel.
The graphic novel will be published by Antarctic Press in the coming months. Looking into the piece you will see the main image of the 2 men exchanging… energy. Look deeper and you will see the familiar faces of angels and spirits that appear in all of Monaghan's 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.
