Mythological Menagerie - Boar

In a series of seamlessly looping 3D animations, contemporary artist Jonathan Monaghan reimagines mythological creatures from the labors of Heracles in a surreal blend of ancient mythology and modern technology. Each animation features iconic beasts like the Ceryneian Hind, the Erymanthian Boar, the Cretan Bull, and the three-headed Cerberus adorned with surveillance cameras and elements of opulent gold. Monaghan creates a new mythical menagerie as these beings roam among environments of contemporary technology.

In Mythological Menagerie: Erymanthian Boar, the ferocious boar, is adorned with gleaming gold, and surveillance cameras in place of eyes. Monaghan's portrayal emphasizes the wild spirit of the creature and the primal instincts it embodies, bringing ancient mythology into an unsettling mining environment.
