Sanguine / Bloedrood

    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.

    The link between photography and painting in the oeuvre of Lili Dujourie is made apparent in this piece through several different traits. First of, the red velvet backdrop recalls the rich portrayal of textiles by the Flemish Primitives or the Baroque painters. The female nude is also a recurrent theme in painting. And finally the photo is printed on canvas and framed, which ties the characteristics of the two media together.

    Untitled (red nude) is an indication of Dujourie’s works to come in textile.
