Melding the halftone and posterise techniques effortlessly, the artist has created an optical illusion of photographic realism coalesced with a prismatic effect. A tribute to the artist’s parents, this piece features a potpourri of prized household items with focus on the lantern that was a prominent feature in the life of the artist’s parents. Once the main source of light, the lantern is cause for nostalgia in those who literally experienced burning the midnight oil.
