Description
Since graduating from the Art Centre in Pasadena, Brendan Monroe has been painting, drawing, and sculpting a mythical world that is inhabited by blobbish oozy, paint-chip, trash-laden life-forms interspersed with human figures. Loosely based on the notion that studying smaller environments can help us understand the greater world around us, Monroe sets out to create this imaginary world with enthusiasm, creating characters and situations that are charmingly surreal. Although he has self-published a wonderful run of miniature artist-books, this is the first inclusive monograph of Monroe's work including over 70 paintings, 15 sculptures, and installation shots. This volume represents the artist's progression as well as his most current body of work and it includes an interview with the artist conducted by Dr David Park. Shana Nys Dambrot created an index of terms related to viewing and experiencing Brendan Monroe's work.
