Oil on panel

As a figurative artist I wanted to do a subject that represents the times in the digital age of communications.
This piece explores how most communication is done now, which is mostly online whether through e-mail, texting or in chatrooms, and what effect digital communications have on socialization and human interaction in the world today. This particular piece is a representation of a person talking in a chatroom behind a computer. It depicts the hours on end that a person spends restrained in a chair and desk and an unorthodox view of the online world of communication verses direct communication and how addicting and sometimes exhausting it can be.
