‘Be Yourselfie’ at U10

“Be yourselfie” is an exhibition with aim of introducing different approaches and new perspectives in painting. The invited artists are all key figures in the field of post digital painting, which is a recent term in the history of art. Through the diversity of technical and conceptual strategies, the exhibited artists experiment with the boundaries of painting nowadays when MS Paint seems like retro and computers can serve as easel, paper or paint, and in our daily life visuality is increasingly consumed through different displays and handheld devices. The exhibition will survey the effects of digital visual references on classical technique of painting nowadays.
