The exhibition focuses on the future of painting in the digital age. It shows and reflects on the evolution of the medium of painting and its renewal through contact with new technologies. The omnipresence of screens and the intrusion of algorithms into almost every aspect of daily life, as recent as they are dazzling, have resulted in a change in the way we look at things, which some painters are endeavouring to reflect in their work. The proliferation of digital images and ‘windows’ is challenging and questioning the "painting as a window" as defined by Alberti in the Renaissance, a device that underpinned the conception of painting and the Western image at the dawn of the modern era and right up to the present day.

While the hybridization of painting accelerated in the mid-twentieth century as a result of its confrontation with photography, cinema, and video art, it was with digital art that the most fertile emulation took place from 1990-2000. The aim of this exhibition is not only to define the current practice of painting but also to identify the plurality of approaches that go far beyond a simple modernist definition of painting. In the face of new technologies, far from declining as has often been predicted, painting seems, on the contrary, to be ‘deprogramming’ the obsolescence that was predicted for it.
