Contemporary Art Reflecting Isolation

Jason Brockert, Isolation 2008

This contemporary work of art reflects the theme of Isolation. This painting is very two-dimensional and simple in subject matter. The blues and greens create a soothing atmosphere. The small green silhouette in the center left of the work depicts a sense of loneliness and isolation. The figure stands alone in an empty and large environment. The lack of detail of the figure shows that he does not want to be identified, further emphasizing his isolation from the world. The feeling that can be acquired from this work is a sense of loneliness and silence, yet in a way that is not necessarily depressing. The soothing colors and lack of strong contrast give off a sense of hope and peace.
