William Monk
The first comprehensive study on the work of visionary painter William Monk
William Monk is a British-born, New York-based artist known for his enigmatic and vibrant paintings that often investigate the same motif or theme in different permutations. Deeply interested in the idea of creating images that are not a direct transcript of the real world but a product of his mind, Monk creates starkly divisional compositions carrying irregular intensities of detail, line, foreground, and background.
Monk's work pushes the foundational elements of painting to the point where model and subject become two separate entities.
