Jonathan Monaghan - Collaborating with 4ARTechnologies

American contemporary visual artist based in Washington D.C. who works across a range of media, including prints, sculpture and computer-animated video, to produce otherworldly objects and narratives. Drawing on wide-ranging sources, such as historical artworks and science fiction, Monaghan’s fantastical pieces uncover subconscious anxieties associated with technology and consumerism.

Monaghan has been one of the first artists to have used blockchain technology to authenticate his digital artworks since 2013. He was part of our curated exhibition Digital Baroque in 4ART App Marketplace, at which all artworks were purchased.
