Jaybo Monk
 
Jaybo Monk
 
Living and working in Berlin, Jaybo Monk is an artist to be reckoned with. With numerous solo shows throughout Europe and USA, his work is highly collectable.  Jaybo's paintings are erratic and chaotic as they directly quote various fragments of urban subculture. While viewing some of Jaybo’s paintings, brushstrokes and figure characterizations are vaguely suggestive of Francis Bacon, the influence of Asian art can be seen, or slivers of the world of Walt Disney make an appearance – like his projection on the Berlin Cathedral, transformed into a veritable tidal wave of Mickey-Mouse hands.
