"Technological Neglect (a.k.a. Father of the Century)" by Markham is a poignant mixed media piece that captures the essence of modern disconnect. This original artwork, created in 2018, portrays a scene that is all too familiar in today's technology-driven world: a man engrossed in his phone, his back turned to a little girl reaching up for his attention.
Measuring 12" x 12" and framed to 14" x 14", this compact yet impactful piece is executed in a hand-drawn stencil style that surpasses the simplistic designs typically associated with street art. The precision and skill with which Markham has rendered this scene are unmatched, with each detail carefully crafted to evoke a sense of emotional distance and neglect.
The solid white background serves as a stark canvas, interrupted only by subtle gouache accents that dance across the composition, creating a sense of movement and energy. The figures of the man and the little girl stand on two crisscrossing geometric triangle strips of dark gray and red, adding a touch of modernity and complexity to the otherwise minimalist backdrop.
The edges are framed in grayscale, providing a subtle yet powerful contrast to the central figures. This design choice emphasizes the isolation of the little girl and the obliviousness of the man, underscoring the societal implications of technological preoccupation.
Despite its powerful imagery, "Technological Neglect" is in excellent condition, accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring its genuine origin and craftsmanship. This one-of-a-kind piece is a call to action, inviting viewers to reflect on the impact of technology on human relationships and connection.
Owning "Technological Neglect (a.k.a. Father of the Century)" is not only a statement of artistic taste but also a reminder of the importance of genuine human interaction. Its thought-provoking theme and meticulous execution make it a valuable addition to any collection, inspiring conversations that resonate with the challenges of our time. This artwork is more than just a piece of art—it's a reflection of our society and an invitation to reconnect.
