Is this still Silent Monumentalism?

Yes — because of where it lives. Silent Monumentalism does not require every space to be silent. It requires the final form to be silent. Your sketchbook is allowed to think. Your finished work is not allowed to talk. That’s discipline.

Pieter Lategan | Sketch Book: Introduction — Silent Monumentalism as a Style and Discipline Welcome to Silent Monumentalism — my idea and working sketchbook. This space is not for finished artworks, but for exploration, structure, and thinking in progress. Here I remove the noise of finished images and focus on the fundamental ideas that shape my visual language. Silent Monumentalism is a disciplined way of making art that prioritises stillness, weight, and inward presence over narrative, story, or illustration. In this approach, form exists as physical presence — grounded, restrained, and composed — rather than as a reference or explanation of emotion or event. This blog serves as my personal idea book: structural sketches, design notes, visual experiments, and conceptual studies. It documents how my thinking unfolds before any work becomes a finished painting, drawing, or object. Your visit here gives you a window into how Silent Monumentalism functions as both a style and a disciplined method — where every line, shape, and study is part of a logic-driven art practice.
