// 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 pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
