Monica is an Oakland based New York City raised artist and educator. She has been teaching architecture design, art and digital media since 2000. Monica’s paintings explore fluctuations between disfiguration and figuration between layered fields. The paintings are assembled based on a logic of growth. The picture plane is amassed to create spatial amplification for the figures to oscillate and dialogue in tension with the viewer. The work is inspired by graffiti and urban street art culture. The dark contour is a critical aspect of linking the figures as a continuous text. The figures are positioned between realism and illustration. The bodies/figures tend to abstract and anchor the portraits into the field. into the painted field.
