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!

DEEP POND


Why are ponds green? I dunno. But then, sometimes you just have to jump in, and maybe it'll make sense. This was the first work ever uploaded to Monitors of Modern Art, and serves as a strong start by presenting a simple, meaningful metaphor.

MASC >

HEART


This is an extremely simple but extremely heartwarming work which simply consists of a heart-shaped depression on a soft pink background.

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.

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.

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.
