Artists in conversation

Marlene Dumas
South African · b. 1953

Dumas works extensively in watercolor and ink on paper with a similarly restrained and emotionally subdued palette, creating figurative and abstract works that share Tuymans' gestural minimalism and unsettling quietude.

Michaël Borremans
Belgian · b. 1963

As a fellow Belgian contemporary artist, Borremans employs the same muted tonal range, subtle compositional restraint, and psychological ambiguity found in this watercolor, often working in small scale works on paper with monochromatic understatement.

Peter Doig
Scottish · b. 1959

Doig shares the serene and atmospheric minimalism present in this piece, using washed out color fields and gestural marks that evoke mood through restraint rather than visual complexity, bridging abstraction and representation in a similarly post modern manner.
