About this artwork
Monaghan has been making collages in the kitchen of his studio since arriving in New York City on New Years 1987. The collage Getting paid is the latest in a long line of these works. The pieces are very personal to Monaghan in that they are made of items from his personal life as well as items i.e. images found in the street. This collage, as well as all the other collages in the series are a glimpse into an artist life.

« 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.
