Life, Works and Synesthesia

JAYBOISMS

Kategori: Bondays Curiosities

Another Bonday, another great soul to be ever so proud of knowing. Mr. Monk is one of those people that make you feel so lucky to have as a friend, over coffee, over cigarrettes, over paint spilt tables. He always carries something under his hat that would make you want to find a corner and some pen and paper and create your own. 
I was an instant fan of his work a few years ago back in Londontown. I thought he was briliant then, but somehow he has not stopped going places, digging further, taking his visual poetry wherever you dare yourself go.
 
Nowadays, everything he shares, all those worlds he hides in his hair, I just find simply extraordinary.
 
Here are a couple of the paintings he showed at Soze Gallery back at the end of February.
 
'Arlequeen' by Jaybo Monk
 
The following are some of his latest creations. (Graphite, Charcoal, Gouache on Fabriano 300g Paper.)
Drawings like no other. Exhibited at Circle Culture Gallery in Berlin 'Running with the Hunted'
 


You may think you are not in love until you find those in your dreams. Be warned.
 
I leave you today with a great video on Monk himself, shot by Rogier Postma. The finalised piece made me cry, absolute beauty makes a wuss out of me. The tryptic is not bad either. 
 
 
We miss you Jay, bring your hat back to California soon. Bon x
