«Interrupted Connection» is one of the early works by Antonio Lebedef, laying the foundation for his signature style—glitch surrealism.
At the center of the painting is the iconic image of Marilyn Monroe, recognizable yet fragmented into separate pieces. Lebedef deliberately breaks the face into pixelated layers, square glitches, and color noise, transforming the living figure into a stream of disjointed visual signals.
The narrative turns a mass culture legend into a metaphor for the media age:
a person disintegrates into images, images become copies, and copies turn into endless digital traces.
Marilyn is present, but not whole—her gaze appears and disappears, like a signal that has lost its source.
The work explores the gap between identity and its media projection, between the real and the reproduced, between the person and themselves.
Glitch is not an error here, but an artistic gesture—a reflection on how modernity processes meaning and memory.
«Interrupted Connection» is a vivid example of how Antonio Lebedef merges pop culture, digital imagery, and painterly craft to create a new visual field where the classical portrait enters into dialogue with the codes of the 21st century.
