At Voorlinden, you get the chance to experience Borremans’ spellbinding mastery in full for yourself. In his solo exhibition, the contemporary master takes you on a journey through your imagination with his enigmatic paintings, sculptures and videos.
The Belgian artist studied photography in Ghent, only later taking up drawing and then painting. His work is characterised by a psychological tension, an intriguing suspense. With his images, Borremans creates confusion and plays with your perception.
‘Paintings are mysterious. They are like a door or window to a place you cannot enter, but you can see. And I use this aspect strongly in all my work.’
