About this artwork
Mountains, painted in 2004, is a representational painting by Monaghan that harkens back to his spiritual surrealist past. The piece is textural by use of layered canvas at the center of the piece. There is an image of a boy at the base of the painting and an angel to the right. A broader larger face is also at the center of the piece. Egg shell and canvas layered on the piece give it added depth.

« 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.
