Luc Tuymans
Belgian, b. 1958

Luc Tuymans’s muted, mysterious paintings transform source material from television, film, and photography into meditations on history, memory, and the mediation of images in contemporary culture. Tuymans recontextualizes his found images as he renders them in a blurred, anxious style and removes any clarifying narrative elements; with soft palettes of grays and browns, he narrows in on haunting details and their emotional undertones. Tuymans studied art in Belgium before going on to exhibit in cities including Brussels, London, Paris, New York, Hong Kong, and Zürich. His work has sold for up to seven figures on the secondary market and belongs in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Centre Pompidou, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Museum of Modern Art, the Rubell Museum, the Tate, the Stedelijk Museum, and the Kunstmuseum Bern.
