Among Horsemen
A solitary figure emerges from the aged surface of a repurposed book page, rendered in Borremans' signature economy of line and restrained watercolour wash. The found ground lends the work an air of historical ambiguity, as ghostly printed text bleeds through beneath the image, collapsing past and present into an unsettling stillness. Borremans' precise pencil work and muted palette evoke a quiet psychological tension, characteristic of his broader exploration of human presence and enigmatic narrative.
