About this artwork
Tea Money, one of Monaghan's nicknames over the years, is inspired my Jean Michel Basquiat's use of words and crossing out of words to give them a different experience to the viewer. This piece, like a lot of Monaghan's works, has the faces of angels, knights and elders hidden throughout. The words and phrases that are used are from films and news articles Monaghan was engaged with at the time as well as quotes from people close to him (especially…
his sons).

« 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.
