Thelonious Monk: Straight, No Chaser

This vibrant mixed media portrait captures the unmistakable presence of jazz icon Thelonious Monk. Layered textures, expressive colour fields, and sharp abstract elements swirl around Monk’s cool composure, reflecting both the improvisational chaos and structured genius of his music.

The mirrored piano keys in his sunglasses offer a nod to the instrument that shaped his legacy, while his downcast gaze hints at the quiet introspection beneath his bold musical voice. Much like Monk’s compositions, this piece challenges convention—refusing to be anything but itself.
