Social Disconnect - 2016 by Adam Cochrane

Features

ARTIST NOTES: This piece was created in response to my feelings about how antisocial we have become when engaged by technology. I captured this image on one of my many shoots and had to paint it.

I loved the humour created by how the figures in this meeting place (its original intent) are so fixated on their devices they ignore the world and those around them.
