BIO & STEPS
Born:
In 1958 in Mortsel, Belgium
Nowadays:
Lives and works in Antwerp
Studies:
Tuymans began his studies in the fine arts at the
Sint-Lukasinstituut in Brussels in 1976. At the age of 19 Tuymans encountered a
series of El Greco paintings in Budapest while working as a guard for a
European railway company. Subsequently he studied fine arts at the Ecole
Nationale Supérieure des Arts Visuels de la Cambre in Brussels, Belgium
(1979–1980) and at the Koninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten in Antwerp,
Belgium (1980–1982). He abandoned painting in 1982, studying art history at the
Vrije Universiteit, Brussels (1982–6), and spent three years experimenting with
video and film until 1985.
Themes and
style:
Exposing
the gap between represented image and historical event, Luc Tuymans’s paintings
delve into the inner workings of how mythology is created. The reality of Luc
Tuymans’s work is almost ’twee’, pleasing images of a lampshade or leopard-skin
rug pass quite comfortably as aesthetic totems; it’s only their cognitive
association with the Holocaust, or atrocities of the Belgian Congo, that
encapsulates the true banality of evil - the unspeakable horror in a teacup,
the monstrous potential of an empty bath. Luc Tuymans’s paintings consciously
fall desperately short of the iconic, becoming vestiges posed as counterfeit
emblems for that which cannot be conveyed.
Techniques:
His work
is developed in paintings.

In his own words:
“Art
creates its own time span and in that sense also creates its own time lapse:
you are looking at something that accords time to an image, as it is made and
as it shows itself. Therefore a disconnection could arise. On the other hand,
there’s always a huge underestimation of the viewer in the re-evaluation of the
document, which we both use. Most contemporary artists tend to contextualize
their work by revitalizing or inserting certain source material as a reference.
Whereas other generations of artists had a completely different assessment of
how one should position oneself. Context can be a mode of protecting yourself,
something to hide behind or fall back on, but it’s also a foundation to work
out of, from which you can talk or react beforehand.”
