Luc Tuymans — Illusion and Reality
Luc Tuymans

Illusion and Reality

A haunting and muted screenprint by Belgian master Luc Tuymans, whose characteristically desaturated palette and unsettling simplicity evoke a pervasive sense of unease and psychological tension. The work explores the blurred boundary between what is perceived and what is real, inviting the viewer to question the reliability of vision and memory. Accompanied by a book, the piece extends its conceptual depth beyond the image itself, weaving together text and visual art in Tuymans' signature meditative and disquieting manner.

Medium
Screenprint in colours, on wove paper, with full margins, with the accompanying book,
