MICHAËL BORREMANS
"Veldwerk"
This autumn de Appel will show an unknown aspect of the oeuvre of Michaël Borremans (BE, 1963). Since the mid-1990’s Borremans has made a name for himself with absurd-ominous drawings and enigmatic- seductive paintings. The exhibition in de Appel counts as the international premiere of his cinematic oeuvre, on which he has been working quietly for some years. With insinuation and suggestion as the most important weapons, Borremans explores in these ‘moving paintings’ the divide between the recognizable, everyday world and an alienated ‘unreality’.
