Luc Tuymans, Seconds


  • Walther & Franz Koenig Verlag
  • by Text: Hans Rudolf Reust
Luc Tuymans' aim was to create pertinent images during the global pandemic. The arist explores issues of history and memory as well as the relationship between photography and painting, using a muted palette to create canvases that are at once withholding and disarmingly stark. Drawing on imagery from photography, television and film, his distinctive compositions make ingenious use of cropping, close-ups and framing, offering fresh perspectives on the medium of painting as well as on broader cultural issues
