Michel Huelin

Michel Huelin readily points out : "One can never really be sure of what one is looking at". And his work proves it : paintings and videos are floating images of our everyday surroundings, constantly navigating between macroscopic (identifiable objects) and microscopic (cellular elements). This state of non-definition draws the eye into a fluid world, between real and virtual, produced by a mix of computer-generated images elaborated by the artist and reworked in brush-applied alkyd resins. This toing-and-froing is also suggested in his videos, sometimes narrative, sometimes kinetic, based on repetitive sequences or the alternation of contracted and extended forms. Michel Huelin associates painting and video in an experimental way : it is a question of broadening one’s perception of the world in all ways possible, from the material to the immaterial, from the visible to the invisible, from the surface of things to their reflection.
