E-face, 1997, oil on treated paper, 266 x 199 cm, framed
Provenance:
Anton Kern Gallery, New York

European Private Collection
Exhibited:
Cincinatti, Matthew Monahan, Contemporary Arts Center, Lois & Richard Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art, 23 April - 30 October 2011, exh. cat. page 221 with ill.
Matthew Monahan’s works on paper take his personal investigation of the Ancient East religious art further, rendering the three dimensions of his sculptures into the two dimensions of paper. The act of deconstructing and reconstructing in his collage, research, and most of all his oil-on-paper technique, which imitates the aesthetics of cave painting, are all parts of an unreal world which is both primordial and timeless.
