Control Freq - Monster TV's

The Monster TV Collection

Step into the bold and thought-provoking world of Anneke’s Monster TV Collection, a vibrant continuation of the themes first explored in her iconic 2005 exhibition, Control Freq. These artworks serve as a playful yet piercing commentary on mass programming, media saturation, and the pervasive influence of technology in shaping human behaviour.

Drawing on her roots as an aerosol artist, Anneke’s signature style shines through in these works. Each piece captures the spirit of rebellion, laced with nostalgia for a time when media’s control was at its inception, subtly nodding to the iconic anthem Video Killed the Radio Star. The collection juxtaposes sharp, dynamic linework with gritty textures and bold colour palettes, symbolising the chaotic energy of media-driven control systems.

Now, almost twenty years later, the themes of Control Freq resonate more than ever in a world where social media and the internet dominate. Through her Monster TV paintings, Anneke invites viewers to question the power dynamics of mass programming, reflect, and reclaim individuality—all while celebrating the playful, rebellious spirit that defines her work.

This collection is not just art - it’s a visual dialogue about freedom in the age of hyper-connectivity.
