About this artwork
The Indian Chief who is the central figure in the collage was a homeless man I would see from time to time on Times Square where I spent many years over my time here in New York City. One day he allowed me to take his picture for which I was very grateful. To me he represents America in our modern age. A majestic modern Indian Chief who is forced to ask for handouts on the sidewalk of Times Square. A descendent of the original peoples of this…
land ruled by all things money which Times Square, with all of its billboards and bright lights, is a vortex for.
This collage is about the convergence of spiritual and physical realms in the modern world as expressed through images and words collected in New York City. It is a snapshot of our modern times.

« 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.
