Paula Maratea - Plug

This painting came out of a series of reflections based on the implications of information technology in the daily lives of people. This particular painting, Plug, points to the new formats we are seeing on our mobile devices, think cell phone. Keywords: cell phone, mobile device, search engine, games The Artist has placed rectangular shapes in various degrees of visibility on a loose grid which provides an architecture that mimics a system in change. By using a contradictory, hot blue color the piece also causes the viewers eyes to contract as if looking at a small screen.
