A quiet nod to Grant Wood’s "American Gothic", "Modern Cellular" reimagines the iconic American couple for the digital age. Gone is the pitchfork, replaced by a screen. This painting becomes a contemporary portal, not only transporting us into a familiar visual lineage but also prompting reflection on the subtle shifts in connection, identity, and presence over time.
Where "American Gothic" speaks to tradition, endurance, and a shared public gaze, "Modern Cellular" explores disconnection, solitude, and the worlds we now carry in our pockets. Yet both paintings share a stillness, a quiet dignity, and together, they invite us to question what we hold sacred, and how we see ourselves and one another across time.
