GRIMM, 54 White Street, New York, NY (US)
-
William Monk is known for his atmospheric, vibrant paintings that feature mysterious and otherworldly forms. His semi-abstract paintings are deeply engaged with the rich tradition and history of the medium. The artist frequently creates works as part of a series, drawing on multifarious sources of inspiration connected to his own experience.
Like his other bodies of work, Monk’s new paintings evade easy categorization and interpretation. As the artist has said, “Only after the work is complete do I become aware of specific past experiences that helped to inform it—perhaps in the same way that a dream picks up on certain conscious moments and twists them.”
