Artwork location: France
This intriguing work features a profusion of characters and creatures with exaggerated features, offering a visually striking experience. Red and blue tones dominate, contrasting with touches of white and black that lend a dramatic intensity to the whole. The human figures, with mysterious expressions, intertwine with fantastical elements such as a horse's head and a robed skeleton, creating a dynamic and chaotic composition. A yellow smiley face adds a discordant note to this already surreal scene. The repeating motifs of animal heads and human silhouettes introduce a dreamlike dimension, while likely symbolizing deeper themes of duality or inner struggle. The style is decidedly expressionist, with a rich texture and strong line, amplifying the emotional urgency and narrative tension of the whole. This work does not simply be contemplated; it challenges, provokes, and stimulates.

Presentation
Born in Lot et Garonne in 1975, Nicolas Monjo is a talented self-taught painter who today lives and works near Angouleme. Preferring the solitude of his studio to social events, he often leaves it to others to dissect and decipher his works.
He discovered painting at the age of 20 and from then on has worked to developed a unique, highly poetic style. He plays with the laws of chemistry on his canvases, mixing acrylics and oils to create pronounced reliefs, whilst his signature preference for greys and blues makes his works instantly recognisable.
The themes tackled by the artists reveal a lucid and personal vision of his subjects, usually everyday objects and scenes which recur as frequently on his canvases as they do in day to day life. Monjo reveals touches of himself through his paintings, depicting his experiences of living in a hard, cold world where the laws of the jungle prevail. He strives, and achieves with brilliance, to make the viewer aware of the fragility of the human condition, which seems to haunt his subjects. The men and women are figuratively and literally enclosed in the frame, reminding the spectator of their inability to liberate themselves from their mundane lives.
Sometimes resembling the curvaceous figures found in the works of Fernand Léger, the characters in Monjo's pieces are often accompanied by dogs, cats, even fish, and are depicted in strange, contorted positions. His preference for flexible models allowed ten people at once to squeeze themselves into a tiny car for one memorable piece.
Monjo's latest works are fantastical, almost surrealist in nature, but contain many of his traditional motifs likes hearts and guitars, as well as bottles, plates, forks, and abandoned glasses. Objects which grace the everyday life of the artist are captured and presented for the delight of the spectator.
