Lesser Known Son
A towering, fragmented figure emerges from layers of charcoal, wood, and drywall, blurring the boundary between drawing and sculpture. Matthew Monahan constructs a raw, spectral presence that feels simultaneously ancient and deteriorating, as if excavated from ruin. The work evokes themes of obscured identity and forgotten legacy, with the figure's incompleteness suggesting a narrative forever on the periphery of history.
