1977年⽣于英国泰晤⼠河畔⾦斯顿；现⽣活、创作于美国纽约。
他以其描绘神秘超凡形态的画作⽽闻名，其半抽象绘画深受该媒介的悠久传统和历史的启发。蒙克使⽤鲜明的分割构图，创作引⼈⼊胜、⾊彩鲜明的绘画；他也经常深度创作系列作品，这些系列会随着时间的推移⽽逐渐演变。画作展现出不规则的细节、线条、前景和背景；其中，⼀种重复性打破了形象的呈现，创造出视觉上的“咒语”。这种节奏贯穿蒙克的创作——放弃具象的逻辑以达到更奇特有⼒的效果。蒙克的画作⼤⽓磅礴，与观者建⽴更直接的实体连结，拉近我们内在与外在体验之间的空间距离。
Born in 1977 in Kingston upon Thames, UK; currently lives and works in New York, USA.
He is known for his vibrant compositions that feature mysterious and otherworldly forms. The artist’s semi-abstract paintings are deeply engaged with the rich tradition and history of the medium. Monk paints enigmatic and vibrant works, using starkly divisional compositions and often works in extensive series that gradually evolve over time. The canvases carry irregular intensities of detail, line, foreground and background, a sense of repetition breaks down the figuration, creating visual mantras. This rhythm happens throughout Monk’s work, surrendering figurative logic to arrive at something stranger and more powerful. Atmospheric and energetic, these paintings invite a more direct physical connection, drawing in the space between our inner and outer realms of experience.
