Ambiguity and contradiction are the twin hallmarks of the paintings, drawings and films of Micha l Borremans (b. 1963). He deploys his technical virtuosity to create apparently familiar scenes, which on closer inspection have an unsettling effect. He combines black humour, violence, absurdism and beauty to produce images that are strange and alienating, in which the subject seems to be situated in an undefined time and space. This catalogue provides an overview of Micha l Borremans' work since 2013. The majority of the works have never been published before. The book focuses on the different series of paintings he has exhibited over recent years: 'Black Mould', 'Fire From the Sun' and 'Coloured Cones'. Working in series is a recent development in Borremans' oeuvre. Micha l Borremans has staged solo exhibitions in a variety of venues, including Galerie Rudolfinum in Prague, CAC M laga, Dallas Museum of Art, Tel Aviv Museum of Art, BOZAR in Brussels, Hara Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo, The Cleveland Museum of Art, S.M.A.K. in Ghent, De Appel in Amsterdam and Parasol Unit in London.Overzicht van alle reeksen schilderijen van Micha l Borremans sinds 2013 De schilderijen, tekeningen en films van Micha l Borremans ( 1963) worden gekenmerkt door ambigu teit en contradictie. Hij cre ert met technische virtuositeit schijnbaar vertrouwde taferelen, die bij nader inzien een ontregelend effect hebben. Hij combineert zwarte humor, geweld, absurdisme en schoonheid met elkaar met vervreemdende beelden als resultaat, waarbij het onderwerp zich in een ongedefinieerde tijd en ruimte lijkt te bevinden. Deze catalogus biedt een overzicht van alle werken die Micha l Borremans sinds 2013 in reeksen heeft geconcipieerd. Het gaat hierbij om zeven verschillende series, onder meer Black Mould, Fire from the Sun? en Girl with Hands. De meeste van deze werken werden nooit eerder gepubliceerd. Het werken in reeksen is een recente ontwikkeling in het oeuvre van Borremans.

Although originally trained as a photographer and graphic designer, Belgian artist Michael Borremans (* 1963 in Geraardsbergen) has made a name for himself with absurdly ominous drawings and enigmatic paintings. In 2005, Borremans first presented a film projection as an integral part of a room-filling installation at the Berlin Biennale. His films shifting tableaux vivants with poetic titles, in which Borremans very gradually creates an oppressive atmosphere with subtle camera workare closely related to his two-dimensional works in terms of form and subject. Using a fixed camera position or slowly zooming in, he focuses on certain details of the scenery, body parts, faces, or clothing. It remains unclear who these people are or what they are doing. As in his paintings, the images in Borreman???s films balance on the fine line between a recognizable, everyday reality and a bizarre dream world.
