모노컴플렉스는 조장원 박현우 황은상 김태민 이상 4명의 팀으로 이루어진 디자인 스튜디오이다.
이들은 우리가 살아가는 삶 속에서 느끼는 감정과 생각 그리고 복합적인 요소들을 다양한 소재를 활용해 자유로운 형태의 사물로 나타낸다.
사물과 사람, 사람과 사람 간의 충돌에 의해 끝없이 펼쳐지는 형(形)의 자유로움을 현대적(contemporary)인 요소와 다양한 미적 기준에 입각해 표현한다.
이러한 결과물에 부여된 주제는 단순히 대중들에게 발상의 파생을 돕고자 함이며, 다양하게 나타나는 주관적인 상상을 유도한다.
모노컴플렉스는 '우리들 또한 대중과 같이 현시대를 살아가며, 우리가 표현하는 단순한 그 모든것은 바로 현시대의 다양성을 보여준다.' 라고 말한다.
"단순한것이 가장 다양한 것이다."
