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.

    Jukka Korkeila's paintings and sculptures are part of greater wholes that express themselves in extremes. He often makes wall-filling compositions with figurative images from popular culture, which he combines with abstract colour panes, slogans and quotes, and recurring patterns that refer to Andy Warhol. His portraits, in turn, stand out because of their graphic complexity and a daring but controlled use of colour.
