Born in 1969, Leicester, U.K. Lives and works in Berlin, Germany. Graduated from Glasgow School of Art, Scotland in 1991, Leicester Polytechnique, U.K. in 1988. Jonathan Monk has developed his unique style of creation, Incorporating the method of appropriation, under his consistent policy that no one can make anything which can be called perfectly ‘original’. He is known for his style that deals with the generating process of art, where the appropriation of an art produces another work of art. Monk’s works are the historical art quotation, questioning ‘how art can be art’. He has exhibited in various locations, including Musee d’Art moderne de la Ville de Paris (Paris), and Pinakothek der Moderne (München) and more.
