Color Drawing on original receipt - Signed and numbered // Jonathan Monk’s Restaurant Drawings is a playful mixed media artwork, created directly on a restaurant receipt. In this piece, hand-drawn looping numbers cover most of the surface, with a bold geometric purple shape standing out at the center, offering a striking contrast to the pale background of the receipt. The spontaneous, doodle-like quality of the lines juxtaposed with the receipt's everyday nature reflects Monk's conceptual practice, often rooted in repurposing mundane objects and blending them with artistic expression. The work is signed and numbered, making each piece a unique contribution to his ongoing exploration of chance, routine, and artistic intervention in daily life.

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.
