Universal is a grid painting painted by Monaghan in 2015. One of the larger black and whites, Universal is really the Universe looking back at you. A black and white universe that looks at the observer. Look at the piece and you will see the face made of ever expanding planets. As with the rest of the pieces in the Black and White series the painting is an opportunity to deconstruct the universe. Created with egg shells which gives the painting…

« 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.
