The Belgian painter Luc Tuymans was born in 1958 in Mortsel, near Antwerp. He studied fine arts in Brussels and Antwerp between 1976 and 1982, before graduating from the Free University in 1986 with a degree in Art History. His work was first introduced in the 1990s and was quickly recognised as a major alternative to the ‘comeback’ of figurative painting that characterised the 1980s. An obscure neo-expressionist, Luc Tuymans proposes a double reflection on the painting and the confrontation with photography. His paintings are falsely disparate and always convey a sense of distance.
