When Justin Lovato named his newest body of work Monad, on view at The Chambers Project starting on May 20th, he was thinking 500 years ago while creating paintings that look like they came from the future. The Monad is a late renaissance era alchemical symbol that represents the ineffable source that emanates the cosmos. Influenced by Alchemy and Mysticism, and visionary thinkers like William Blake, Lovato’s work is also philosophical in nature, trying to convey a message that is deeply personal yet universal. Hence why we have Monad.
