Alec Monopoly’s Distinctive Approach to Mixed Media
Alec Monopoly is widely recognized for his use of authentic stocks, bank notes and bonds as the surface for his paintings. By choosing materials taken directly from the world of finance, he creates narratives that explore the relationship between art and economic power. His recurring characters, including Richie Rich and the Monopoly Man, serve as familiar symbols that guide viewers through stories about aspiration, luxury and cultural identity.
Other works, such as Monopoly Great Sphinx at Giza (183x244 cm) and Green Frame $ Bags Sixtine Chapel Ceiling (153x122 cm), demonstrate Monopoly’s ability to blend historic and cultural icons with modern financial symbols. In Monopoly and Richie Playing Card on Yacht Monaco (177x243 cm), the viewer enters a glamorous world where layers of mixed media create a heightened sense of texture and dimension.
