Jonathan Monk

Jonathan Monk (Born 1969) is active/lives in United Kingdom.  Jonathan Monk is known for Painting and sculpture.

British-born artist Jonathan Monk often appropriates ideas, works, and strategies from Conceptualist and Minimalist artists of the `60s and `70s.  With photographs, sculpture, film, installation, and performance, his works recontextualize and rework these quotations, often infusing them with Monk`s personal history and working-class family background.  These aspects add a humanizing and down-to-earth sensibility to the original works` utopian ideals and notions of artistic genius.

Monk`s extensions and reinterpretations of seminal works by John Baldessari, Ed Ruscha, and Sol LeWitt, among others, challenge authenticity, authorship, and value in art with quirky humor and wit.  Monk's work has been exhibited extensively throughout the world.
