blog.rosebrand.com: Ben Jones’s mural Envision Empower Embrace is based on selected imagery from his recent paintings which address events related to social justice, climate change, and environmental disasters. The central image of a fish framing renowned jazz singer and political activist Nina Simone harkens back to Ben Jones’s commemorative painting Nina Simone High Priestess of Soul (1972).

Digital Artwork, a relatively new form of visual art, is slowly gaining popularity and recognition for the amount of hard work that it requires. And the enigma associated with it comes with the fact that the artwork is seamless; unlike paints or hard materials, you cannot feel each aspect of the work individually; every piece works together to produce the end result.
This article essentially touches upon this aspect of seamlessness that digital artwork produces through the example at Montclair Museum. The feeling of awe that people feel once they see the digital artwork and the questions that arise in their mind about how the artwork is producing the effect it is, because people have always had this misconception that things that can be felt by the sense of touch give a more realistic and worthy experience, as compared to things that can be only seen.
This article helps break this misconception, conveying to the readers that not all things need to necessarily be felt physically; at times, just he visual is satisfactory and fulfilling.
