Solo Exhibition, New York, 2008

“NKG is pleased to present the masterful and whimsical drawings of Bostonian artist John Monteiro. John Monteiro is a very rarely seen phenomenon: a master of the line and form. His images cannot be appreciated at all when seen via digital means. In the same manner that a breathtaking sunset can never be totally captured in a photograph, so a reproduction of his work cannot capture the power and beauty of the lines he so meticulously creates with his hand. But he is not merely a hand to be dismissed, as so many are these days based on the loss of respect for craft. His work embodies an intelligence and conceptual framing of our world that goes beyond the ordinary. He is an artist that any truly cognizant art appreciator would immediately recognize as significant. NKG is pleased to introduce John Monteiro’s work. Please come and enjoy his amazing drawings.”
