LUC TUYMANS Good Luck SPOTLIGHT SERIES:
, David Zwirner , 2020 hardcover, dusjacket, 241 x 171 mm, 76 pages, 30 colour illustrations, English edition. ISBN 9781644230336.
Widely credited with having contributed to the revival of painting in the 1990s, Belgian painter Luc Tuymans continues to expand our understanding of the medium. Sourcing imagery from books, magazines, films, the internet, and increasingly his own iPhone photos, Tuymans's unique selection of subject matter reveals his fascination with moral complexities. Exploring diverse and sensitive topics, many of which include historic references from World War II to more contemporary events such as 9/11, Tuymans presents imagery that at first seems innocuous or approachable but upon deeper inspection can be entirely unsettling. Achieved through his masterful handling of paint, his works are often suggestive of memories or familiar people, places, and things. The latest in the Spotlight Series, which focuses on new bodies of work by contemporary artists, Tuymans continues to take on increasingly complex subject matters in his primarily muted palette. Published on the occasion of the artist's 2020 solo exhibition at David Zwirner Hong Kong, this book features an essay by art critic Su Wei, who approaches Tuymans's newest paintings and how they expand his oeuvre. Luc Tuymans (b. 1958) is known for a distinctive style of painting that demonstrates images' power to simultaneously communicate and withhold. Emerging in the 1980s, Tuymans pioneered a decidedly non-narrative approach to figurative painting, instead exploring how information can be layered and embedded within certain scenes and signifiers. Based on preexisting imagery culled from a variety of sources, his works are rendered in a muted palette that is suggestive of a blurry recollection or a fading memory. Their quiet and restrained appearance, however, belies an underlying moral complexity. They engage equally with questions of history and its representation as they do with quotidian subject matter. Tuymans's canvases, which are typically executed on a large scale, both undermine and reinvent traditional notions of monumentality through their insistence on the ambiguity of meaning. Su Wei is a curator and art critic based in Beijing. He is the senior curator of Inside-Out Art Museum (IOAM), Beijing. His curatorial projects include the 7th Shenzhen Sculpture Biennale, China (2012)
Luc Tuymans - Birds of a feather
Brussel, Ludion, 2015 Hardcover with illustrated dustjacket, 112 pages, 26.5 x 21.5 cm, English, As New. . ISBN 9789491819391.
This book brings together the most recent work by Luc Tuymans. It will be shown in the Talbot Rice Gallery in Edinburgh in the autumn of 2015. Birds of a Feather shows Tuymans? fascination with the Scottish Enlightenment and its thinkers, who believed in the ability of humans to shape their future rationally and whose influence extended as far as the United States. Stimulated by a visit to the art collection of the University of Edinburgh, Tuymans did three small portraits of Scottish philosophers, originally painted by the eighteenth-century portrait artist Henry Raeburn. The theme of the Enlightenment is combined with menacing horror: in a monumental dark work, The Shore, which alludes to Goya?s pinturas negras, or in the portrait of the murderer and cannibal Issei Sagawa. The British writer Will Self wrote a remarkable short story for The Shore, and the art critic Colin Chinnery has contributed an explanatory essay.

Luc Tuymans: Catalogue Raisonne of Paintings Volume 2. 1995 -2006

The second volume of a catalogue raisonné of Luc Tuymans's paintings, Over the course of four decades, Belgian painter Luc Tuymans has created his own distinctive vernacular, a new visual vocabulary. The second volume in a catalogue raisonné of Tuymans?s paintings surveys nearly two hundred works, including some of his most iconic canvases. Between the years 1995 and 2006, Tuymans?s work trended toward ideas of national and collective memory. In 1996, the artist created a group of ten paintings entitled The Heritage, for which he transformed familiar images of American life, such as Mount Rushmore, baseball caps, and the United States flag, into unsettling visions, addressing the country?s perceived vulnerability, both physical and psychological, following the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. Paintings from Mwana Kitoko: Beautiful White Man, his seminal body of work that was first shown at David Zwirner, New York, in 2000, after which he expanded the series for his presentation for the Belgian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 2001, depict imagery derived from the fraught history of Belgian colonial rule of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Also included is one of Tuymans?s best-known paintings, The Secretary of State (2005), a powerful yet seemingly vulnerable portrayal of Condoleezza Rice, which conjures the long history of racial and sexual prejudice in the United States, not as something that has been overcome, but as an active force shaping our reality. This volume includes an editor?s note by Eva Meyer-Hermann and an illustrated chronology with archival images and installation views of the featured works. It also presents brilliant color reproductions of each painting from this period. This publication is a testament to Tuymans?s persistent assertion of the relevance and importance of painting? a conviction that he maintains even in today?s digital world, when his work continues to be a touchstone for artists and scholars.
ALLO! Luc Tuymans,

De geschilderde cyclus bestaat uit zes doeken; daarvan zijn drie beelden weerhouden voor de editie. Inspiratie werd geleverd door de laatste minuten van de film The Moon and Sixpence, waarin het verhaal wordt verteld van Charles Strickland (vertolkt door de Engelse acteur George Saunders), een beurshandelaar van middelbare leeftijd, die zijn gezin en burgerleven de rug toekeert en naar Tahiti trekt om er te schilderen. De film is gebaseerd op de gelijknamige roman van W. Somerset Maugham en verwijst duidelijk naar het leven van Gauguin. Tuymans grijpt de film aan op het ogenblik dat de arts van Strickland vanuit Londen naar Tahiti is gereisd om deze laatste te bezoeken. Strickland is dan echter al overleden en wanneer de arts de hut van de schilder binnenstapt, gaat de zwart-wit film over in felle kleuren. Tuymans maakte screenshots van deze Gauguin Revisited. De reflectie van de fotograaf (Tuymans dus) is goed zichtbaar in de voorstellingen van de arts die voor de monumentale schilderijen van de overleden kunstenaar staat. Deze schim en reflectie zorgen voor een raadselachtige dimensie.
