Jonathan Monaghan
United States
Contemporary artist whose practice explores the transformative effects of technology and consumer culture on our perceptions of reality. His multidisciplinary works combine ancient mythologies, commercial architecture and corporate logos to create a surreal and mythical world that blurs the lines between the natural and the artificial.
Drawing on his experience in video game design, Monaghan's artwork uses digital technologies to create visually extravagant and immersive experiences that engage audiences in critical dialogue about the digital age. With a touch of satire and a sharp sense of humor, Monaghan's works challenge viewers to examine their own complicity in perpetuating a society dominated by technology and conspicuous consumption.
Monaghan's artworks have been exhibited at prestigious venues around the world, including the Sundance Film Festival and the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. His installations have garnered critical acclaim from outlets such as The New York Times, Vogue Italia, and The Washington Post.
