Dean Monogenis at Pace University

This summer, STUX artist Dean Monogenis was an Art-in-Residence at the Pace University - Dyson College of Arts and Sciences. There Monogenis worked on a large-scale installation pairing landscape with the abstract to create a three-dimensional painting that organically grows out of its space.

“I wanted to bring that into sculpture and I wanted to also incorporate the environment that the sculpture will be in.” Monogenis explained.

The installation, titled Monument to Ascent, brings the walls, floor, and ceiling into the art.





Monument to Ascent on view September 4-29 in the Choate House Gallery in Pleasantville.
