Michaël Borremans

Most or practically all of Tuymans’ images are based upon already represented imagery, ranging from drawings, photographs, found images, film-stills, Polaroid’s, etc., but always he tries nevertheless to focus on specific meanings reaching further than that what is represented. The content can at times be based on historical facts or material, but these are reworked in a way that they do not repeat themselves. The image never disintegrates into fragments. It is only fragmentary as a whole. The painting resides somewhere between the observer and the image, at a claustrophobic point of non-communication, as an accomplished fact, such as the silent weight of deceit, memory and trauma before or after an event. In this sense, realising through mimicry the element of reconstruction. Therefore the imagery could only be perceived as questionable and ambiguous; since it allows for different reading and several layers of meaning.

Tuymans is one of the most respected painters of his generation. His work is largely included in prominent international museums, e.g. the Museum Of Modern Art in New York and the National Museum of Modern Art Georges Pompidou Centre Paris. He participated in important exhibitions such as Documenta IX 1992. He had a solo exhibition in 2002 in Helsinki. In 2004, Tate Modern London (UK) scheduled a great solo show of his paintings. This exhibition traveled to the K21 Kunstsammlung Düsseldorf (GER). He participated in the Biennale di Sao Paulo del Brasile in 2004. Several major solo exhibitions are planned in 2007, including a show at Zeno X Gallery, Antwerp (BE). In 2008 several American museums invited Tuymans to have a large solo exhibition at their institutes.
