Pete Monaghan

My work is mainly about vernacular architecture. I enjoy the simplicity and rhythm found in the shapes and lines around modest structures, particularly when they form some sort of ensemble of buildings. I won't be painting any noble or so-called magnificent buildings anytime soon!

I work in acrylics on wood panel using crayons, markers, collage and spray paint. Portions of each painting is often retained as a drawn element reflecting the fragility and temporality of the structures. My work is part representation, part visceral interpretation.
