Kurzbeschreibung
Die Gemälde Michaël Borremans (geb. 1963 in Geraardsbergen) bestechen durch eine fast altmeisterliche Maltechnik. Virtuos arbeitet der belgische Künstler mit einer reduzierten, melancholisch anmutenden Farbpalette aus Beige-, Braun- und Grautönen. So verführerisch die Werke in ihrer Ästhetik sind, so irritierend und kaum entschlüsselbar wirken ihre Inhalte: Die Protagonisten seiner Gemälde, die nach Abbildungen aus Zeitungen, Illustrierten oder wissenschaftlichen Fachbüchern entstehen, werden bei der Ausführung rätselhafter Tätigkeiten beobachtet, narrative Elemente, die Erklärungen liefern könnten, fehlen. Dabei sind Borremans Sujets deutlich in der Vergangenheit angesiedelt, in der Welt seiner Eltern- und Großelterngeneration, und rekurrieren immer wieder auf die Kunst früherer Epochen.
Der elegant gestaltete Band mit einem instruktiven Textbeitrag von Jeffrey Grove präsentiert erstmals sämtliche Gemälde Michaël Borremans und ist damit der maßgebliche Überblick über sein malerisches Werk.

Making the Quietly Mundane into Eloquent Art
7. August 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
Michaël Borremans was born in 1963 in Belgium and spent the early years of his exploration of art in the fields of photography and design. As this intriguing and exceptionally well presented monograph reveals, those years of training polished his observing eye and ability to appreciate spatial relations, factors which when he turned to painting have served him very well indeed. 'The subject is an object to me', he has stated. His scenes of single figures or groups of figures are essentially motionless, as if frozen in time, a significant aspect is that they represent 'clichés and other elements that are part of the collective unconscious...Sure, there is nothing there. On the other hand, all is there'. His figures are in many ways unremarkable or mundane, simply performing stationary tasks in a moment of time. Some would ask 'why paint them' until the viewer becomes more sensitive to the manner in which Borremans paints: his brush strokes are deliberate, almost abrasively confident, as though what he is saying about what he is seeing is a personal dialogue between the artist and the 'model'. Yet it is just this manner of confidence that lends his paintings a sense of timelessness and importance.
Borremans palette is muted for the most part: browns, grays, musty colors define the image and only occasionally does he add bright color to jar the eye as in 'The German' where a muted man is manipulating a cascade of bright red bead-like balls. Another aspect of his work is his frequent use of the top of the figure alone, placed inconspicuously on a table top: the meaning? Or he may paint only the lower trouser legs and shoes as a portrait. At other times he complete the standard concept of a portrait, as in 'the Avoider', which is a painting of a young bearded man, head to toe, clothed in a pink shirt, white pants, no shoes, and holding a walking stick as he confronts the viewer. Bt by far the most frequent 'subject matter' of each of his paintings is simply a person, looking down, an object either present or absent, and the titles he attaches to these conundrums may seem to bear no affinity for the work.
Whatever the first impact of his paintings has on the viewer the fact that he is so superb a painter makes his work immediately unforgettable. He is considered by many to be one of the finest figurative artists painting today. Time will tell as to his staying power, but at this moment he is staggering. This book is an excellent introduction to Michaël Borremans: the reproductions are plentiful and excellent, and the opening essay by Jeffrey Grove is one of the best writings about contemporary art on the shelf!

Michael Borremans: Paintings
12. März 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This is a great book about one of the most interesting contemporary painters. The book is beautifully printed, the quality of plates is very good. This painter is a great example of somebody who works in a tradition of figurative painting, but brings it into today. It is very conceptual, but also wonderfully delicate and harmonious in color. The application of paint is lively and spontaneous. It brings memories of Hals and Rembrandt. Great book.
