Portraits of the Digital Age

Fleur Helluin researches on the representation of the figure in the digital age through portraits of close and unknown people. She represents the Face Swaps, Panoramic Fails, or friends and random internet people, lighted by the very contemporary light of the computer screen.Helluin proposes a fresh take on the digital imagery by interpreting it through the lens of painting. Her works have been the subject of articles by digital anthropologist Fanny George from the Sorbonne University in Paris. The medium of painting itself is pushed into physical extremes between porous primers, thick bold layers, shiny varnishes and delicate depictions of the human complexion.
