While Tuymans is and remains a painter first and foremost, a lot goes on in the margins of his paintings, before and after their creation. The artist has recently opened up a part of his artistic practice, in the form of Polaroids and other documents, that was previously largely out of sight. It is now possible as never before to chart his fascinations and working processes. Tuymans willingly allows himself to be caught engaging with visual culture, using the frozen image to make something with real meaning. As though driven by a fear of boring himself, he allows explanantions and misunderstandings to flourish unchecked. New book.

Het raadselachtige dat hij aanvankelijk in zijn schilderijen integreerde via een surrealistische beeldtaal, maakt plaats voor een gevoel van vervreemding bij de toeschouwer zelf. Ghekieres schilderijen zijn even veranderlijk als het licht, en ontkennen het statische karakter evenals het unieke gezichtspunt van het traditionele schilderij.nnJoris Ghekiere lives and works in Klein-Willebroek (Antwerp, Belgium). He participated in many exhibitions in galleries, museums and centres for contemporary art.nThe manipulation and reduction of the beauty of daily images and objects are charactaristic in many of his paintings. The enormous variety of images might errounously indicate a lack of 'red line'. Once again, the spectator may be mislead...
