Catalogue Note

The 12 prints are each titled for a month of the year and were commissioned by Keanu Reeves at the onset of production of two sequels to the film The Matrix. They were printed at Pamplemousse Press with Andre Ribuoli, in collaboration with Maurice Sanchez and Derriere L'Etoile Studios in New York City. The images relate to the artist's charcoal drawing series entitled MONSTERS.
