The Dual Nature of Connection: Evan Baden’s Portraits of Isolation

Evan Baden's captivating portraits frame figures from the waist up, bathed in soft light and deep shadows. The glow emanates from electronic devices like iPods, cell phones, and computers, symbolizing our paradoxical relationship with technology. While these devices connect us instantly, they simultaneously isolate us from our immediate surroundings. Baden’s work prompts reflection on the freedom brought by technology and the chains it can impose. His art invites viewers to explore their emotions and thoughts on the interplay of light, shadow, and the devices that define modern life.

  3. Evan Baden’s portraits depict figures from the waist up soft light and surrounded by shadows In Baden’s photographs glow radiates from the screens of electronic devices, such as iPods, cell phones, and computers, rather than streaming in from a nearby window “These devices grace us with the ability to instantly connect to other,” he states, “and at the same time they isolate us from those with whom we are connected. They allow for great freedom, yet so often we are chained to them.”
