MONO:CHROME

MONO:CHROME brings together Tezos-native artists to explore the possibilities of a single color field. From Malevich’s Black Square to Klein’s blue, the monochrome has been a radical gesture in art history, reducing painting to its essence and inviting focus on presence and perception.

In partnership with InfiniteInk, AOTM reimagines this tradition for the digital age. On the blockchain, color and surface are reshaped through code, editions, and permanence. What once existed on canvas now lives on screen, where light itself becomes a medium, shifting and pulsing to give each single color work an added dimension of time and depth.

In the digital realm, the monochrome is no longer fixed. It breathes, flickers, and reacts. Its minimal surface becomes a site of infinite variation, where pixels replace pigment and luminosity replaces texture. The question remains: how much can be expressed with so little?

Artists known for vivid digital canvases are invited here to work within the restraint of one hue. Each brings a unique interpretation through rhythm, reflection, or code, revealing that the monochrome is never truly uniform.

MONO:CHROME is both homage and reinvention, honoring minimalism’s past while expanding it into a new digital language of light.
