Mark Stephenson is a designer, painter and installation artist living and working in Ottawa Canada.

His “Social Portraits” project is an ongoing exploration of the online persona through the painting and sharing of social media profile photos. As the paintings are completed they’re shared online using the hashtag #socialportraits for everyone to see, like, share, and comment on. He is out to capture that epic selfie, perfect angle, big moment, the morning after or whatever it is that you have used to represent your carefully crafted online persona. “Social Portraits” brings art, social media and people together in an engaging project that begins online and ends in a physical gallery.

To bring these two worlds together he created a set of emoji stickers and talk bubbles that engage visitors at the exhibitions to add reactions and comments alongside the paintings. The level of engagement has been fantastic. The examples can be found in the website.
