"003" - Colorful Chrome Sculptural Mask by John Monn

2022

John Monn is an interdisciplinary artist who lives and works in Los Angeles. His work utilizes a range of materials, creating theatrical installations, paintings, and sculptures amongst others. Monnʼs practice currently centers around a repetitious process of gestural models sketched in 3D. The models help hone fluid forms to then craft objects that inspire introspection. John also plays with scale both digitally and with physical objects presented in ways to alter perception and to spike curiosity in materials and environment. Graduating with a BFA from James Madison University in 2004, John Monn has since exhibited across the world in major cities such as New York, Paris, and Los Angeles where he currently resides.
