Moncho's new work referencing freedom and constraint. Suggesting both opposites occupying the same moment, these works play upon the duality of a frozen moment in time and motion inhabiting the same space.
The juxtaposition of these elements within the works give the narrative and the energy of the works a place to compliment and challenge themselves. Hinting at personal and communal ideas related to freedom and motion, the colors, figures and scale work in harmony to speak to the viewer and space.
While the figures and content are suspended in time, the color palette give the space an energy and motion with the colors themselves expressing motion. This whole conversation between stillness and motion open the narrative to the content and invite the viewer into the visual discussion.
