Todd Monaghan, 2005, 56"/50"/1.5", gesso, oil, pastel, enamel and egg shells on canvas.
Monke', painted by Monaghan in 2005, is somewhere between an abstraction and a spiritual realistic piece. Looking into the piece you will see the various familiar faces and characters that animate Monaghan's work. Ruled by mostly earth tones and textured with his familiar use of egg shells, the piece as a very earthy grounding feel.
