Constantly probing his creative potential, Monaghan will feature a new body of work that germinated in a sketch book ten years ago. Created this year specifically for this exhibition, his geometric shapes are now folded over each other, the bends and overlapping forms allowing for new planes to generate color. For Monaghan, his work is about conveying emotion and energy through color without a narrative or figurative reference. The only literal form in the mix is a star, its points coyly collapsing in toward the center. The exhibition will also feature other kinetic forms / optical illusions Monaghan is known for, such as the highly sought-after colorful wooden dowels and interactive horizontal paintings.
