    NLENFR

    During the cultural city festival Antwerp Baroque 2018. Rubens Inspires, the M HKA, the Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp, juxtaposes the spirit of the baroque masters with the vision of contemporary top artists. With the exhibition Sanguine/Bloedrood (Blood Red), curator Luc Tuymans aims to overwhelm the visitor by placing key works from the baroque of, among others, Francisco de Zurbarán and Caravaggio, in dialogue with works by classical contemporary masters, such as On Kawara and Edward Kienholz, as well as new works by contemporary stars such as Zhang Enli, Takashi Murakami, Michaël Borremans, Sigmar Polke and Tobias Rheberger.

    °1969

    The Polish visual artist Dominik Lejman (b. 1969) studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk and later at the Royal College of Art in London. He develops a technique to fuse video projections with abstract paintings on canvas, creating a hybrid art form that both interrupts and repeats the moving image. His work questions the principles according to which the human brain assembles images. Through the projection in the abstract structure of the canvas, a technological trompe l'oeil is created.
