Discover the creation in interiors
This diptych black and white, the fourth of the Rehoboth Beach Residency Series, is part of Monaghan's continuing black and white series that was initiated in 2012. This series, inspired by American painter Franz Kline and the Japanese Calligraphy painters explores minimalism in both mark making and them. This piece is a reflection on the figure 8, the symbol for infinity. It is also a face with a pair of spectacles on it, hence the name, Infinity…
Spectacles. The piece, a diptych, is a continuation of a series of diptych black and whites including "Cattails" and "A Bend In Time".. This piece, and all of the pieces in the series, is made with egg shells and gesso and is an abstraction that explores space, light and energy flow.

Todd Monaghan
United States
« 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.
