Biography
Painter, video artist, set designer and indeed blogger, Hélène Delprat draws inspiration from literature, film, radio, the press and the Internet to create a protean body of work that combines fiction, documentary, tragedy and comedy. Whatever the medium, the artist works on a basis of "fortuitous affinities" and begins the process with a collage of images. Her work is permeated by questions of representation, transmission and recording; it involves an abundance of cultural and popular references, figurative and conceptual associations that defy any single interpretation.
