Matthew Monahan sees contemporary spirituality as the creation of his own personal mythology, where the beautiful and the barbaric can coexist.
Drawing from a wide range of influences, from Modernist art to ancient totems, Monahan’s works are familiar and strange at the same time. In Kontrole Freak A.U.B., Monahan adorns a pillar with a hand-crafted ‘relic’. Recognisable as a face, but twisted into something new, its function remains a mystery.
