Eternity

Édition limitée de 50

À propos

Ensemble de trois planches de skate en édition limitée.
Parmi les œuvres les plus colorées de Tuymans à ce jour, la peinture Eternity (2021) présente une forme sphérique qui se déploie comme un champ lumineux de couleur pure, évoquant les compositions de Mark Rothko ou de Kenneth Noland. Cependant, la surface imparfaite et irrégulière du dôme suggère une référence au monde réel : le dôme de verre conçu par Werner Heisenberg dans son laboratoire pour simuler les explosions de bombes à hydrogène. Physicien théoricien de renom, Heisenberg a dirigé le programme allemand d’armement atomique pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, même si l’on ignore encore s’il a contribué ou, au contraire, entravé cette cause.

Tuymans a souvent fait référence à l'histoire traumatique dans son œuvre ; cependant, le sujet de ces peintures n'est pas ces atrocités elles-mêmes, mais plutôt la manière dont elles sont intégrées au récit historique, ainsi qu'à la mémoire collective, à travers des images qui ont le potentiel d'être indéterminées, multivalentes et, en fin de compte, révélant un aperçu sous-jacent de l'humanité, mettant ici littéralement en avant la beauté dans la destruction.
