My Left Hand Holding a Square 4

Jonathan Monk, The Idea of an Empty Sliding, monotype, embossed squares scattered on blank white background, evoking gentle movement.

// 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 conceptual art?

Sometimes referred to as Conceptualism, this is an art form where the idea(s) or concept(s) behind the work take precedence over material concerns and traditional aesthetics. Many conceptual artworks can be created by anyone simply by following written instructions. The concept or idea is the most essential aspect of the artwork.
