Monochromaster Black Square by Malevich

2019
An A0 poster of the black square, from the Monochromasters series.

The second piece i made in the Monochromasters series.

I have always strongly admired the black square for its minimalism, matter-of-factness and emotional impact and gravitas. I wanted to see what my Monochromasters concept would do with such a picture.

It produced an almost perfect 50% grey square,

Which is terrifying in its own way, and minimal, and funny. I also liked how the square sits in the A0 containing form.
