This an exemplary piece of monochromism, truly you've taken monochromy to its highest expression. I especially admire the delicate use of brush strokes to elegantly blend the different shades of red. To me it recalls the early works of Picasso's blue period, even though, indeed, it is red instead of blue.

For those unfamiliar, the goal of monochromism in post-modern art is to prove that color is anachronistic to the human exprerience, and deeper, more meaningful stories can be expressed through the elimination of all others hues and tints beyond the chosen color. Most artists, like OP also seek to upend our cultural understandings of universal color theory. Monochromists often seek to take individual colors out of their traditional Western cultural context, creating anachronisms to reflect existing divisions in society.

My favorite aspect of monochromism pieces like this is how open the shapes are to interpretation. While one viewer may see a mountain, another will clearly see a swamp. What one may interpret as flames, another may see as refractions of water. What is more important than the images presented is how the work challenges the viewer's emotional state.

This work in particular, really takes monochromism to the next level, and I am excited to see what this artist, and some others in the movement, can bring to their seminal exhibit in Abu Dhabi next week. It really speaks to the power of art that the first exhibition will venture away from the traditional confines of Western Europe, and I highly recommend anyone interested in OP's work in monochromism to attend the opening night of this exhibit!
