About this artwork
Whale Sonics 101 is part of a series of black & white paintings with gold and silver in them. The series was commissioned by gallerist Bill Lowe for his Lowe Gallery in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Whale Sonics 101, created with the sounds of Whale Songs as inspiration, takes Monaghan's black and white series in a gold and silver direction. Maintaining the same symbolism and marks familiar in Monaghan's work Monaghan used egg shells in this series…
to give the work a deep textural feel.

« 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.
