GAVLAK Palm Beach is proud to announce Ecstatic Havoc, an exhibition of the new wall works by Maynard Monrow—marking the artist’s 4th exhibition with the gallery. This new body of work, which is being shown publicly for the first time, marks an important, natural evolution within the artist’s practice. Embracing the role of a conceptual disruptor, Monrow showcases his observations of ironies and peculiarities of daily life through his distinctive artistic style, while demonstrating his commitment to involving the audience in his creative journey. This dedication positions him as a pioneer in process-oriented art, reflecting not only his keen critique of contemporary politics but also his enduring faith in the transformative power of art.
