STAR STRUCK BOY by Dedos The Nomad in Vancouver

STAR STRUCK BOY

With this particular piece, I drew upon the current state of our younger generation and the silent assault that's being waged on their minds and souls. I felt that using the day but drop from the weekend album cover was fitting to also tie in a few other iconic figures and poses, such as a bored ape which I feel represents millennials, and since we are touching on apes I thought of Stanley Kubrick's "2001 A Space Odessy" and the Monolith used in the film, and how the supposed prehistoric man depicted in the film was mesmerized by this rectangular black mirror amongst their environment which was out of place, to begin with, thus the phone represents this monolith once again in these days and time,s to bring us back to prehistoric times theoretically, visually speaking to the fact that humans havent evolved much as we are still so easily and predictably distracted, in fact we are devolving from what we used to be. The pose is similar to the one Satan worshiper - "Alister Krowly" was famously photgraphed in. The Title -Star Struck Boy, was a play on words, a flip on the script and how we idolize these stars as if they have the power to dictate our thoughts and actions, therefore alternating our path towards and praising a false idol as opposed to our one and true Creator.
