Two sailboats, sails full of wind, speed along the calm water s surface. Superimposed against their desaturated image are a series of red, blue and yellow transparent rectangles.

Mistigram: The first #ANSIart screen we profile from the new #fineart-themed MIST0424 artpack collection is this composition by

_n1tr0n, a juxtaposition of #sailboat racing with the neo-plasticism of #DeStijl painter #PietMondrian. The artist/sailor states he depicts: "my favorite moment in a boat race, the approach to the windward mark... the mondrian colors are supposed to reflect the elements of the scene, the sea, the sun, the sky, the racing spirit of the crew in red... I drew that ANSI the day I decided to sell the boat, actually."

This image is secretly responsible for the specific timing of the release of our fine art collection, as tracking down the specific fate of a particular Nitron guest submission resulted in the discovery of an entire trove of worthwhile artworks on this theme that had been carefully stashed away and then forgotten about.

Three stylized dresses hang straight down against a black backdrop, each divided into rough quarters around a central, uncoloured midsection. Each of them is coloured in the upper right and lower left quadrants, and left white everywhere else: the first dress yellow, the second red and the third cyan and blue.

atonalosprey made this #teletext adaptation of the album art to the single #Dizzy from #ShonenKnife's 2019 album #SweetCandyPower, depicting iconic dresses in a #PietMondrian pattern the band's members have been wearing, on and off, for decades. This screen was included in the recent music-themed MIST0224 artpack collection.
