Image Workshop Artists - Tuymans and Sansal

Luc Tuymans

Portrait, 2000

Saatchi Gallery description of this piece: "The woman’s melancholic expression and sickly pallor serve less as a reminder of a vibrant life, than a lingering forbearance of death; her cherished memory a mere ghost - faded and shrinking, as if she never was. Only her black dress and glasses remain, sinister and anonymous props, lonely relics without sentiment or intimacy."

Käthe Grüsse, 1990

The Time, 1988

Ambiguous. Can tell they're discs but are they pills? sweets?


Wilhelm Sansal
Factory, 2000 [Oil on canvas]
