With the virtual avatar 2019

"With the Virtual Avatar" by Siegfried Zademack is a 2019 oil painting that depicts a nude female figure bound by blue twine to a wooden mannequin. The figures are positioned in front of a stone wall with a circular opening, framed by a saw and scissors. The work's theme explores the concept of artificiality and the human condition, with the mannequin representing the virtual and the female figure embodying the organic. The use of realistic detail creates a sense of unease and intrigue, highlighting the potential for both connection and separation in the digital age.
