The New Millennium

I created this painting not only for the symbolism, but also the style, which is very much inspired by contemporary media and Photoshop. I wanted to create a painting that had obviously been created since the advent of the personal computer and internet. The content matter is highly reminiscent of images edited in Photoshop, current beauty standards, and modern values regarding sexual openness. None of these ideas were particularly ubiquitous before the twenty-first century, so thus this painting is titled The New Millennium.
