Eamon Monaghan's solo exhibition, 'Under the Floorboards', features his unique dioramas constructed from everyday materials such as cardboard and wire, creating an immersive experience filled with chaotic scenes. His sculptures embody moments of disorder, with intersecting angles and unexpected figures navigating their environments. Drawing inspiration from notable underground artists, Monaghan’s work playfully addresses the complexities of stability and control while inviting viewers to reflect on the interplay between time and movement. Continuing until March 29 in Los Angeles, this exhibition highlights the artist's imaginative approach and the compelling narratives within his three-dimensional creations.
Monaghan draws on the work of 20th-century underground legends like cartoonist R. Crumb or clay animator Bruce Bickford, infusing unpredictability and farce into his chaotic dioramas.
His sculptures capture harried moments of disarray seemingly frozen in time, with tiny figures grappling with their surroundings in unexpected, humorous ways.
The artist embraces unpredictability, examining the relationships between stability, movement, time, and control through playful and dynamic arrangements in his exhibition, Under the Floorboards.
In 'Stages', the platforms shift in a puzzle-like manner, depicting figures in surprising situations that contribute to the uncanny narrative of Monaghan's work.
