Claudia Bitran, working primarily in painting and video, frequently uses DIY aesthetics to represent the hyperbolic worlds of social media and popular culture. The artist employs a wide range of painting strategies to metamorphosize her source material, resulting in dense and thick surfaces that transform the content of the artist’s videos. Bitran’s work invites viewers to empathize with the figures they depict—while simultaneously exploring how images become part of the endless cycle of mass consumption that happens online.
