// The Idea of an Empty Sliding by Jonathan Monk is a unique monotype from 2015, produced as a single edition. This artwork features an arrangement of faintly embossed square outlines scattered across a large, empty white surface. The subtle variations in the squares’ positions and orientations create a sense of movement, as if they are gently drifting or sliding across the page. The minimalist composition and the delicate embossing emphasize emptiness and quiet motion, inviting viewers to reflect on themes of presence and absence, space, and the intangible. Monk’s work often explores concepts of repetition and subtle transformation, and here, he plays with the idea of emptiness as a dynamic, shifting field.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
