Oil on canvas. This painting was inspired by the growing virtual reality industry, and how remote connections provide a false sense that they are a one-for-one substitute for real life, and local relationships. The symbology used is inspired by traditional depictions of Mary nursing the infant Christ, and by Picasso’s ‘Mother and Child’ (1921), and how it’s evolution during it’s making eventually led to the father being removed from the canvas by Picasso before it was completed, which you can view here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5419da1ee4b00a9c680c26ca/1664391869743-9MXD75BYPF8CB85FSPTW/Christopher-Owen-Smith-Senses-04.jpg Portfolio - Untitled I 16"x20".
