Announcing Representation of Carson Monahan

Conduit Gallery is honored to announce its representation of Carson Monahan.
Carson Monahan (b. 1985) is a self-taught artist living and working in Detroit. His work merges contemporary narratives with echoes of classicism and surrealism to expose the multifaceted human condition. He delves into the realms of human emotion and thought to further unveil connections between psychological landscapes and spiritual dimensions of existence.
Monahan earned a BBA from Eastern Michigan University (2012) before pursuing a career in art—later awarded a residency at Willow House, Terlingua, TX (2023). In addition to Conduit Gallery, he has also had several recent exhibitions at Monument, Kingston, NY and Monya Rowe Gallery, NYC.
In his second solo exhibition Secret Magic Spirit World with Conduit Gallery, Monahan infuses seemingly ordinary moments with an otherworldly presence, heightening reality while blurring the boundaries between the physical and the spiritual. Elements of symbolism, particularly animal figures, appear throughout his surreal landscapes, emphasizing tension between natural instinct and mysterious occurrences that call our human intuition and awareness into question.
The artist’s influences range from fantasy, folklore, Italian renaissance, and mythology to dreams and the subconscious mind. Similarly, his thought-provoking paintings explore themes of mortality, renewal, anxiety, alienation, longing, time, and the concept of impermanence—leaving viewers to contemplate their own interpretation.
The gallery looks forward to a long and productive relationship with this visionary artist.

June 6, 2025 - March 29, 2026
Resplendent Dreams: Reawakening the Rococo showcases work from three contemporary queer artists—Robert Horvath, Diego Montoya, and Anthony Sonnenberg—who were influenced by the Rococo period, a movement in European art, architecture, and design that developed over the first half of the 1700s. The artists draw on the Rococo period’s sense of frivolity and extravagance to create extravagant contemporary pieces, demonstrating how the past continues to resonate with their concerns and sensibilities today.
Guests will be captivated by a broad range of media and artistic practices, including an immersive watercolor room by Robert Horvath inspired by Rococo palace interiors, ceramic sculptures by Anthony Sonnenberg, and extraordinary gowns from Diego Montoya, who is known for his Emmy Award-winning designs for We’re Here and RuPaul’s Drag Race.

Our Stories, Ourselves
Margaret Meehan (University of Mary Washington)
Do you ever find yourself humming a favorite nursery rhyme to yourself or recalling a fairy tale to get through a tough time? Margaret Meehan says there’s a more sinister side to the classics. She remixes and explores those stories in her ceramic work to ask who were we taught to fear? To respect? How were we taught to be?
