Michaël Borremans: The Acrobat
Table of Contents
About The Book
Recalling classical painting, both through technical mastery and subject matter, Borremans’s depiction of the surprising and the bizarre, invites a second look. Uncanny scenes of figures onlooking blurred acrobatic displays, hooded subjects in Rembrandt lighting, or solemn portraits of painted faces demonstrate Borremans’s unique vision. In this recent body of work, Borremans continues to draw the viewer in closer with his small scale paintings of mysterious figures in peculiar arenas.

Raves and Reviews
"Michaël Borremans may be the greatest living figurative painter."
– John Vincler, The New York Times
"'The Acrobat' provides an opportunity — all too rare on this side of the Atlantic — to see the genius of Borremans in the flesh...It’s painterly magic. A major New York museum retrospective is long overdue."
– John Vincler, The New York Times
“Borremans has the advantage of being a respected figurative oil painter who is simultaneously a contemporary artist: he has the entire history of figurative art at his disposal.”
– The Brooklyn Rail
