ArtistSunrise viewed through prison bars. 16:9 full width illustration of a smoggy dawn viewed out of a barred prison window from inside a decrepit prison. The black bars dissect the hot, hazy yellow-orange sunrise into a series of rectangles. The sun is beginning to peer over the lower edge of the window. The walls surrounding the window are made of gritty, gray concrete covered in graffiti. The entire image has a modern graphic novel esthetic, with bold, expressive shapes, clean lines, and the exaggerated dramatic intensity of a comic book panel. The underlying emotion is a glimmer of hope, as exemplified by the wan sunrise, in the face of imprisonment, tedious boredom, powerlessness, frustration, and loneliness. Strong, pop art-style colors contrast with the artist’s obsession for heightened detail, above all of the decrepit prison wall graffiti.
A measure of hope in bleak circumstances.
