    Luc Tuymans: On&BY

    Whitechapel Gallery

    Overview\nLuc Tuymans is one of the most influential figurative painters working today. Born in 1958 and based in Antwerp

    he has exhibited since 1985

    emerging internationally in the early 1990s as an artist who has addressed not just the continuation of painting's relevance but subjects as difficult to represent as the long-lasting traumas of war

    colonialism

    and everyday violence. Tuymans has also been a filmmaker

    a curator of his own art and its context

    an exhibitor of other artists past and present

    and an eloquent writer on his work and that of the image-makers

    thinkers

    and authors who affect him. His pictures are ghosted by language

    always in a relationship with their precisely considered titles and the constant articulation of reflections on their themes and ideas.\n\nEdited by the historian and publisher Peter Ruyffelaere and with an introduction by critic and curator Adrian Searle

    this volume collects Tuymans’ writings on his own and others’ images

    from Van Eyck

    Velázquez

    and El Greco to Edouard Manet

    Giorgio Morandi

    Hans-Jürgen Syberberg

    Chris Marker

    Neo Rauch

    Paul McCarthy

    and Jeff Wall. It includes dialogues with Tuymans’ artist contemporaries Ai Weiwei

    Luc Tuymans: On&BY

    Storytelling is one of the most innate expressions of human nature. It is also the means by which we store

    retain and invent our collective and personal histories. This use of language has shifted dramatically over time

    from the oral storytelling methods of the ancients to the invention of linear scripts

    and finally

    the advent of technology and cyberspace. How have these shifts been visualized in the work of art? How has the element of language affected our notions of what art is and vice versa? This book examines such questions via a critical assessment of the works of revolutionary image-makers in the contemporary arts. A shift in consciousness is developing. As proposed by new-media theorists

    the possibilities imparted with the invention of cyberspace have set the stage for an endless exploration of alternative identities

    histories and modes of understanding. Overlaying cybernetically charged fields of visualization upon the established oral methodologies of the ancients

    these artists and critics lay the basis for our narrative (r)evolution.
