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.

    German painter-photographer Sigmar Polke (b. 1941), who developed a varied graphic oeuvre since the 1960s, uses photos, clippings, slogans and politically inspired elements that he brings together in layered images. He experiments with the possibilities of dyes, lacquers and chemicals to create transparent images that seem to move within the image, depending on the incidence of light.
