Original artwork description:

A dapper young schoolboy is portrayed in a fleeting moment of reacting to something seen or heard. The title suggests that he is on a fact finding mission, perhaps even to discover something incriminating. We see that he holds an object like an iphone in his hand in a manner that mimics the pose of someone using an old camera. The painting suggests the coexistence of two eras, with an atmosphere of the 1920's. Time converges, his poised demeanour echoes the formality of yesteryear, creating a subtle contrast with the modern gadget he holds as the painting bridges the gap between past and present.
