Todd Monaghan, 2022, 70"/56"/1.5", gesso, acrylic, oil pastel and egg shells on canvas.
This piece, created at the end of 2022, is a continuation of Monaghan's black and white series. This piece depicts Monaghan's friend and photographer, Loni Efron (sometimes referred to by Monaghan as Loner) represented as a spirit figure at the top left of the painting, photographing (documenting) Monaghan with her Iphone as she has since they meet. Monaghan and Efron meet when Monaghan help install legendary street artist SAMO and Linus Coraggio at Efron's gallery, Ilon Art Gallery in Harlem.
