Currently residing in Los Angeles‚ the artist has previously lived in China‚ Japan and Holland and consequentially the metaphor of travel runs vividly throughout Monahan’s art work‚ in both his compression of genre‚ history and its subsequent displacement. There is a feeling that these sculptures have been ‘lived’‚ and not just made‚ and they have come about through years of fascination‚ observation and experience by the artist.
