MEET PETE MONAGHAN
Pete Monaghan is a 2G Irish contemporary artist and tutor. He works from studios in Aberystwyth, Wales and southern Germany and tutors in various venues in the UK and Austria.
His main inspiration is the vernacular architecture of the Celtic Fringes and the special energy of these places.
Pete sketches plain air and then refines and reworks images in the studio. He is concerned with creating work that is full of energy and tension.
He enjoys collaging everyday objects into his paintings, there are often pieces of coffee cups, maps and corrugated cardboard to be discovered. Portions of each painting are retained as drawn elements to reflect the fragility and temporality of the structures.
Pete shows work with galleries in the UK and Ireland.
