Luc Tuymans, artist and art
Born 1958, Birth Mortsel, Belgium.
The artist lives and works in Antwerp.
“My paintings are not smack in your face, but there’s a history of violence – not portrayed, but constantly there, at different levels: mutilation, disappearance, not showing things. Violence creates many more images than happiness will ever be able to – there’s an entanglement with so many more people. A feeling for the beautiful is solitary. Happiness takes about 30 seconds.”
