About this artwork
At the center of this resinated collage is actress Farrah Fawcett and her life partner, Ryan O'Neal. The piece is a series of torsos with a list of numbers going around the edges. The edges represent my position in line waiting for an opportunity to audition for the first Art Reality show here in New York. The various phrases are what was said to me as well as what I overheard while waiting in line. The piece is unique in that it has an actual…
roller and tube of paint incorporated into it thereby celebrating the art making process yet idiocy of reality T.V.

« 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.
