Belgian artist Luc Tuymans (b. 1958) revolutionized figurative painting in the 1980s, establishing a unique style that has profoundly impacted his contemporaries and subsequent generations of artists. Tuymans’s canvases are meticulously crafted from existing imagery sourced from diverse sources, and while his palette is restrained, it conveys a profound complexity.
