Discover the creation in interiors
Monsters was created as a collaboration with Monaghan's mentor, artist Gregory Ilich and his oldest son Ryan in 1998. The piece is a nod to the book Where the Wild Things are and explores the demons that live inside our head. Look closely into the piece and you will see the familiar faces and spirits that are in the subtext of all of Monaghan's work.

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.
