About the Item

Oil on Canvas Monaghan's paintings have always shown a sensitivity and reverence for light on the cusp of change. Says Monaghan, “Many of my paintings which depict dawn or dusk represent a special place and time when I am most compelled to reflect on nature, study its elements, and meditate on the way light and shadow interact. The process of change at these times makes me attentive.” In his current work, Monaghan investigates the effects of transitional light on water. One sees the glint of a low, strong sun bursting through trees and the heavy filter of atmosphere in these paintings. Light and wind conspire to create bold, abstract designs on a lake surface. Monaghan creates an evocative realism in his paintings, made all the more compelling by his skillful handling of paint. Textures and surfaces are built up, and the fluid application of these materials effectively embodies the qualities of water and land. Upon close inspection, realism takes a back seat to process and the physical effects of paint and glazes. All of these qualities unite to evoke memories of time and place. Monaghan’s paintings can be found in the collections of Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Studios, Walt Disney and Universal Studios, I.B.M., Baron Hilton, Helene Curtis and Fuji Corporations, The Prudential, LaSalle National Bank, The Chicago Mercantile Exchange, PMI, and Advanced Micro Devices, to name just a few.

Oil on Canvas 41 7/10 × 57 1/10 in 106 × 145 cm This is a unique work This work includes a Certificate of Authenticity Yeonsoo Kim focuses on the color green, drawing from its neutral tone and energy. Kim’s landscapes are the portrait of her emotions, a freeform blend of memories and feelings. Green is the color between yellow and blue - it’s neutral in tone and energy, balancing and calming one’s mind and emotions. The reason we are so drawn to the green of nature may be our own instincts trying to flee from the endless adrenaline rush society constantly throws us into, always demanding more and faster. The landscapes I drew from were a freeform blend of memories and emotions - the sky, mountains...
