The exhibition at Pace’s 510 West 25th Street space and GRIMM’s 54 White Street gallery will run from April 29 to June 11, concurrent with Frieze New York. The East Hampton show will be on view from May 27 to June 5. This expansive presentation will mark Monk’s second exhibition in New York.Monk is known for his atmospheric, vibrant paintings that feature mysterious and otherworldly forms. His semiabstract paintings are deeply engaged with the rich tradition and history of the medium. The artist frequently creates works as part of a series, drawing on multifarious sources of inspiration connected to his own experience.Like his other bodies of work, Monk’s new paintings evade easy categorization and interpretation. As the artist has said, “Only after the work is complete do I become aware of specific past experiences that helped to inform it—perhaps in the same way that a dream picks up on certain conscious moments and twists them.” On the occasion of the exhibition, Pace Publishing and GRIMM will jointly produce a book featuring an essay by art historian and critic Suzanne Hudson and an interview with the artist conducted by poet John Yau.

His paintings carry irregular intensities of detail, line, foreground, and background.Learn More Journal View All Films William Monk on "West of Nowhere" Oct 19, 2023 Pace Publishing William Monk: The Ferryman Aug 15, 2023 Films William Monk: Untitled (zip) II – VII May 05, 2020 Exhibitions Announcing A New Series of Online Exhibitions Apr 20, 2020 Overview Exhibition Film Featured Works Installation Views About the Artist Journal
