Items related to Michaël Borremans: Weight
Belgium-based Michael Borremans creates absurd and sometimes ominous paintings. "Horse Hunting" (2005), for example, depicts, in a muddy palette, a pale and moody-looking man in a suit jacket and crisp white shirt shoving two twigs up his nose. He stares straight at us, and the wall behind him is filled with his shadow. Borremans has said of his paintings, "I use clichés and other elements that are part of a collective consciousness my work would be perfect on biscuit tins." At the 2006 Berlin Biennale, Borremans showed a film on a small LCD screen, which he had framed like a painting. The piece was based on a 2002 drawing of a girl, which he reproduced in three dimensions, so that the girl slowly spins around. Whatever the medium, Borremans' work bears this trademark sense of absurdity verging on menace. Weight is published concurrently with an exhibition at De Appel in Amsterdam.

Book Description Encuadernación de tapa dura. Condition: Excelente. Dust Jacket Condition: Muy bien. Although originally trained as a photographer and graphic designer, Belgian artist Michaël Borremans (* 1963 in Geraardsbergen) has made a name for himself with absurdly ominous drawings and enigmatic paintings. In 2005, Borremans first presented a film projection as an integral part of a room-filling installation at the Berlin Biennale. His films shifting tableaux vivants with poetic titles, in which Borremans very gradually creates an oppressive atmosphere with subtle camera work are closely related to his two-dimensional works in terms of form and subject. Using a fixed camera position or slowly zooming in, he focuses on certain details of the scenery, body parts, faces, or clothing. It remains unclear who these people are or what they are doing. As in his paintings, the images in Borreman s films balance on the fine line between a recognizable, everyday reality and a bizarre dream world. Seller Inventory # ABE-1669150913277
