Inhaltsangabe

An enigmatic meditation on the transition from life to death

William Monk (born 1977) is known for his semiabstract, atmospheric and vibrant paintings that feature mysterious and otherworldly forms. Engaged with notions of the afterlife, Monk’s latest series The Ferryman is comprised of large-scale paintings and smaller compositions that focus on the journey from this life into the next.?
Published to accompany Monk’s three-venue exhibition at Pace Gallery in New York and East Hampton and Grimm Gallery in New York, this paperback volume guides the reader through all three exhibitions, presenting the entire body of work in a visual narrative, utilizing cinematic proportions and images to replicate the experience of Monk’s careful spatial arrangements. A conversation between the artist and poet John Yau provides new insight into the artist’s creative practices, while text by art historian and critic Suzanne Hudson explores the nuances of the ferryman figure and his psychedelic environment.
