“Chronically Online” is a solo exhibition by London, Ontario based artist, Kieran Belanger. These works were created between 2021 - 2024 by combining photography, scanography , and digital painting. With this method, Kieran has created a series of work that toes the line between digital and traditional. His love for technology and the human form come together to create abstract pieces that challenge the viewer to appreciate digital works through a different perspective. Drawing inspiration from self taught artists such as Etienne Crauss, Femzor, and Jordan Devant, he aims to encourage others to explore their creative voice and take risks through different digital media methods.
The period in which this body of work was created was incredibly transformative to Kieran’s creative career. During this time, he formed relationships with and showcased alongside numerous influential artists from around the world. The community that was formed during this time helped develop the style that he still hones to this day.
“The works are all heavily inspired by the bonds created with artists, creatives, and eccentrics I’ve had the privilege to befriend. These are the people who stayed up with me at all hours creating, the people who encouraged me to take more creative risks, and the people who I’m proud to call my family now. This exhibition is a ‘thank you’ to them, for their inspiration, encouragement, acceptance, and kindness.”
