ART CAPITAL 2026 - INDEPENDENT ARTISTS' FAIR
THE ARTWORKS
What is identity today? How do we represent who we are, we humans of the early 21st century? Our world is fragmented, our pace of life is fragmented, and our digital tools fragment us as well. We are the generation witnessing this transition from the human to the digital human.
As an artist, I wish to bear witness to this transformation of identity and the human condition: we are all becoming Digital-Humans.
Our identity is shared on social media in as many facets of our personality, but our condition also makes us irreducibly tangible.
And in our minds, the only place still preserved, we are also multiple. We are both tangible with a bodily rhythm and a physical dimension, and also digital with our facets of personality that we all now show in part on social networks.
These two portraits embody the identity hybridization between the tangible world and the digital world, what I like to call the digitangible.
These two figures represent a woman and a man in an ID photo pose, but whose entire body is striated, fragmented.
What are the limits to our digitalization?
These portraits question identity in its current state. Are we becoming these hybrid beings that digitalization fragments, or are we still the physical beings we once were?
Slower temporality?
This woman and this man find an answer by preserving both aspects of their condition. Their multiplicity is contained within them; their inner emotional world is preserved because it remains invisible behind this layering. Their identity fragments into multiple digital bands against a background of reality that is always the same and immutable.
DIGITAL WOMAN
This large-format work (146 x 114 cm) was painted in oil on linen canvas. More than 100 hours were required to complete it.
DIGITAL MAN
Similarly, Digital Man is an oil painting on linen canvas measuring 146 x 116 cm.
A hundred hours were also needed to complete this painting.
This painting depicts a man in a pose reminiscent of an ID photo, but whose entire body is striated and fragmented.
These two canvases can be purchased as a diptych or individually at the Salon des Indépendants.
For any inquiries, please contact Agnès Monnet, who will be present at the stand or via email.
