16 posts held, back to 30 July 2020 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 16 posts for this entry, the most recent from 30 March 2024. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
32 reactions across 9 posts, in 3 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 59.4% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |
|---|---|---|---|
| 👍 | 19 | 59.4% | |
| ❤ | 12 | 37.5% | |
| 🔥 | 1 | 3.13% |
No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 9 of the 16 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 32reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 16 most recent posts we hold, published 30 July 2020 to 30 March 2024, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
Blood Orange, 2023 by Adrian Kay Wong (b. 1991) Oil on canvas 42 × 38 in; 106.7 × 96.5 cm “The only goal I have in mind every morning is just “Make more paintings.” That said, I treat each new work independently almost like a puzzle or a “figuring out” of visual constraints. The decisions in my image-making are dictated and informed by the particular set of shapes I’m working with. For example, when I draw out the…

Three studies of the male back, 1987 by Francis Bacon (1909 - 1992) 31.9 × 23.3 in; 81 × 59.2 cm Lithographs on Arches paper “My painting is not violent; it’s life that is violent. I have endured physical violence, I have even had my teeth broken. Sexuality, human emotion, everyday life, personal humiliation (you only have to watch television)―violence is part of human nature. Even within the most beautiful landsc…

Hondolea (Marine Abyss) 2021 by Cristina Iglesias (b. 1956) The sculpture is located in the lighthouse building on Santa Clara Island, and takes up the entire space of the building. The sculpture is made up of a large bronze vessel that artristically recreates images of the depths of the bay of San Sebastián and the nearby coast. Inside the basin, the water flows and follows the rhythm of the tides. "I like to th…

Pagoda (Grey Day) 2017 by Anthony Sonnenberg (b. 1986) 19 × 12 × 9 in; 48 × 30 × 23 cm Cone 10 reduction fired porcelain over stoneware, found ceramic tchotchkes, glaze I use time‐intensive construction methods to create totems and environments that reference the cyclical nature of growth and decay, and suggest layers of time that move beyond the art historical and into the geological and emotional. ― A S

Radio, FLUX Series, 2019 by Alia Ali (b. 1985) 48 × 36 in; 122 × 92 cm Pigment print on photorag 310gr. with UV laminate mounted on aluminum dibond in upholstered frame (wood & wax print) To me, my practice is about risk and facing fears. I realized that I was the most afraid of how people would react to the work. I wasn’t thinking in the moment or what I was doing, I was thinking about what people would say. Tha…

Enxurrada (Flood) 2014 by Vanderlei Lopes (b. 1973) Polished bronze 55 x 31 x 12 in; 140 x 78 x 30 cm "I came to live in the city of São Paulo, the state capital, to broaden my studies and find an experience that was more directly urban. This led me to work as a bus money collector and at that time it held a certain fascination because the experience thrust me totally into the city, the ambience and urban space t…
A Habit that Refuses to Die, 2016 by Amanda Greive (b. 1978) Oil on wood panel 30 × 30 × 1.5 in; 76.2 × 76.2 × 3.8 cm "Though I come from a family that is very musically and artistically inclined, I originally went to school to become an epidemiologist. After graduating from school, I took a job but still felt unfulfilled. A little over 10 years ago, I decided to take a drawing class at my local community colle…

Nymphéas, 1908 by Claude Monet (1840 - 1926) Oil on Canvas 36.2 × 35 in; 92 × 89 cm "I can't hold out any longer and am in a state of utter despair. After a few days of good weather, it's raining again and once again I have had to put the studies I started to one side. It's driving me to distraction and the unfortunate thing is that I take it out on my poor paintings. I destroyed a large picture of flowers which …
Hello Kitten, 2019 by Matthew Grabelsky Oil on Canvas 16 × 20 in; 41 × 51 cm "Most of the time I listen to audiobooks while I’m painting. When I’m composing a piece I need it to be quiet but when I’m painting listening to a story helps me concentrate. I love that painting allows me to listen to books all day long. I can’t imagine ever having had the time to sit down and get through War and Peace but by listening …
Showing the 12 most recent of 16 posts we hold for @seriousart. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 25 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
