The surfaces of Luc Tuymans s small paintings are monochromatic and frail, as if recuperating from a long illness. In the tradition of Flemish and Spanish still-life genre painting, they represent domestic scenes or commonplace objects such as a pillow or a cake. These still lifes resonate, however, with a sense of the uncanny. Hovering beneath the surface of Tuymans s quiet paintings are deep-seated anxieties that rise to the surface in his depictions of faces or parts of the body. Though modest in scale and sensitive in execution, the work s power lies in conveying a sense of violence, or a haunting evocation of lost lives and repressed histories. Among the most exciting of a recent generation of painters, Belgian artist Tuymans has exhibited widely in Europe and the United States.
