This collection, “Reinventing Painting”, is a two-way street. On the one hand, it focuses on the ways in which digital art rethinks the very medium of painting, its tools, brushes, pigments, providing them with properties that are impossible in the real world: watercolors ripple, become three-dimensional, brushstrokes come alive and dance…

But these tools also question, transform and reinvent the heritage of the history of painting. Far from being disconnected from it, digital art questions and draws inspiration from its past, as art has done since Antiquity. Within this collection, the Mona Lisa smiles, Van Gogh’s clouds spiral and Friedrich's Wanderer transports himself into a futuristic city, while Benjamin Bardou attempts to reveal the infinite possibilities contained in the painting “through touches” of the late 19th century.
