Monty Montgomery's artistic vision can best be described as an emotional
language created using his innate intuition about color and object
relationships to connect with the viewer. This authentic viewpoint often
humbly defies the norm giving his work both power and vulnerability.
Profoundly
affected by his upbringing in the rural Blueridge Mountains of
Virginia, Monty’s work has always been informed by his visceral and
emotional reactions to daily experiences whether in exploration of
nature or trekking city streets. The epiphany came in his teen years
when he began expressing this unique perception of the external world by
blending conflicting elements into seamless harmony.
Exposure to
divergent settings and combining urban sensory input with his
impressions of the natural landscape has inspired a collision into one
expression where he attempts through color theory, mathematics and
abstraction to share his journey and create a unique geometric style.
