Intrigue: James Ensor by Luc Tuymans
British Sign Language (BSL) interpreted event
Luc Tuymans discusses his distinguished career as a contemporary painter, as well as his curation of the James Ensor exhibition, with Senior Curator Adrian Locke.
Luc Tuymans’ work features in leading public and private collections worldwide and is regularly included in major solo and group exhibitions. Since the late 1970s, Tuymans's easily-recognisable, sparsely-coloured figurative canvases have redefined the traditional genres of the everyday and history painting. Drawing in part on influences which range from Flemish Old Master painting to the contemporary mass media, his works are almost always painted from pre-existing imagery and produced in distinct, thematic series.
Important solo and group exhibitions over the past decade include Tuymans's contribution to the Belgian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, a solo show at the Tate Modern, and major retrospectives in Europe and the US. Glasses, a solo museum exhibition featuring a selection of portraits by Tuymans, is at the National Portrait Gallery this Autumn.
This event will be sign language interpreted.
