Discover the creation in interiors
The second painting Monaghan ever did independent of a collage was the original Torso piece. Monaghan's girlfriend at the time promised to frame the piece for him. She took the piece from the studio and it was never to be seen again. Torso 2006, made in 2006, is a second edition, a remake of that original piece.

Todd Monaghan
United States
« 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.
