Newest Collection: HIATUS - Hiatus


20 February 2023


This week's new collection is HIATUS. Monitors of Modern Art is on indefinite hiatus. After nearly 8 years of posting a new collection every single week, we have unfortunately run fresh out of material. Updates will resume once we can put together more material and fill out a backlog. In the meantime, please feel free to enjoy the thousands of works already present in this gallery!

USB PORT


This is a fascinating work that uses a digital texture to portray a technical subject matter. The contrast of both vertical lines and the alternating-horizontal-checkerboard texture of the 'port' itself does a great job of giving a unique impression, and the image's overall color contour works together with its composition to give a good sense of directionality.

HORRIFIED WHALE


This is the single best reaction image that this gallery ever has produced, or likely will ever produce. It is elegance in simplicity, personified.

RENDING APOCALYPSE


This is one of this gallery's premier examples of stellar coloring, texturing, shading, and overall composition. The rough digital texture in the background allows for a uniquely graded style of gradient that the color choices only enhance; this shading style is used to give both an impression of depth and to imply how things are falling apart; especially when it transitions into a dithering fade as deep blackness consumes the area around it. The work's foreground is no less intense and detailed, its sharp and visceral shapes serving as a symbol of determination and resistance - those things hanging on in the midst of the calamity. There is a lot of potential symbolism to be found in this work.

A MARVELOUS MESS


This looks less like a typical work of art in this gallery and more like a physical collage, with its spattering of different colors, textures, motifs, and contours. It emphasizes artistic exploration, pushing the boundaries and seeing what can be done.

MEMORY HILL


This work is overtly positive, mainly through its choice of palette. And yet, it remains somber, also partly through its choice of palette, as well as in structure as the negative space in the foreground seems to gaze into the distance. It also serves as a good example of a work that shines in its simplicity.
