William Monk is a British-born, New York-based artist known for his enigmatic and vibrant paintings that often investigate the same motif or theme in different permutations. Deeply interested in the idea of creating images that are not a direct transcript of the real world
but a product of his mind, Monk creates starkly divisional compositions carrying irregular intensities of detail, line, foreground, and background, pushing his work and the foundational elements of painting to the point where model and subject become two separate entities.Isabelle Graw is an art historian based in Berlin.
Terry R. Myers is a writer and independent curator based in Los Angeles.Angels Miralda is a curator and writer based in Amsterdam.
