Unrequited Love (2024)Acrylic painting
by Jamie Lee

A young couple embrace, he loves her, she's more interested in the attention she's getting from others on social media. In creating this acrylic painting, I channeled the vibrant energy of comic and pop art styles to explore modern love and its complexities. The glaring contrast between the warm, seemingly intimate embrace and the distraction of technology speaks volumes about today’s digitalized relationships. This piece vividly captures the irony of close yet distant connections, aiming to stir introspection and conversation in your space about the nature of love in our digital era. Painted in acrylics in a style representing offset printing, the misaligned 'print' layers are a representation of how the protagonists lives are slightly out of line.
The sides are painted black ready to hang or frame.
