This exhibition will also include a selection of small oil paintings by the artist, drawing further connections between his works on paper and canvas.Monk is known for his atmospheric, vibrant paintings that feature mysterious and otherworldly forms. Radiating with energy, this body of work on view in New York and East Hampton focuses on Monk’s invented Ferryman, or figure of death. Across all the works in this three-venue presentation, Monk proposes a contemporary take on psychedelia and a re-enchantment of painting as a ritualistic, active medium.
