Discover the creation in interiors
Peacock, as you will notice from the various signings on the back, was executed in multiple directions. This technique of flipping the canvas and "seeing what you see and discover" is something Monaghan learned from his mentor, painter Gregory Ilich. The piece was finished the way it is presented here with the central Peacock facing out and up. The piece also features a large pink Ferris Wheel as well as various faces and characters (spirits)…
which are central to Monaghan's work.

Todd Monaghan

« 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.
