One of the hardest things I feel in art sometimes is to capture the attention of our sensory addicted and easily distracted eye with a work that at its core is quite minimal. With this piece, I feel digital artist and photographer Onkar Lele achieves just that with this piece. Labeled Lockdown it illustrates a scene we’re all too familiar with these past years, an image we might easily connect with loneliness and isolation, but by the simple juxtaposition of light, color and shadow delivers a poignant message of hope. Perhaps, even in our darkest and bluest moments, we can find some tenderness.
