| Quote | "There are a lot of influences of course. The most devastating one is Jan Van Eyck. He was a Flemish primitive and, I think, one of the most important painters ever. The perfection of Van Eyck is unparalleled in the world. Already as a painter from the beginning you are traumatized by your own region."

Luc Tuymans is one of the key figures of a new generation of figurative painters who have continued to paint during a time when many believed the medium had lost its relevance. In the context of the new information age, many artists felt that painting was a deeply conservative form of expression which did not match the heterogeneous nature of contemporary experience. Tuymans' work specifically addresses the challenge of the inadequacy and 'belatedness', as he puts it, of painting.
