Rooted in the practice of word-play denoted by his word-phrase triptychs (first exhibited at the Dallas Contemporary Art Museum), Skye Nicolas furthers his exploration of combining remixed visuals with introspective text in his Monochromes—setting the stage for fictional dramas told in single panel narratives. The monochromatic palette reduces meaning into ambivalent contrasts: a sophisticated condensation of literary tropes transformed into new context elevating themes of youth, love, and loss.
