Social media in contemporary art cartoon

December 19, 2019 by chrismadden

contemporary art cartoon emoji

Digital language enters contemporary art.

The cartoon shows a contemporary art painting that resembles a social media emoji.
The fact that the visitors to the art gallery think that the painting is capturing emotion and is expressing emotion is partly meant to show the emotional banality and superficiality of a lot of social media.

Cartoon drawn: 2019
Cartoon reference number: art048
This cartoon features in my book of cartoons about art.
