Summary:

Fire from the Sun' highlights Michaël Borremans's new work, which features toddlers engaged in playful but mysterious acts with sinister overtones and insinuations of violence. 0Known for his ability to recall classical painting, both through technical mastery and subject matter, Borremans?s depiction of the uncanny, the perhaps secret, the bizarre, often surprises, sometimes disturbs the viewer. In this series of work, children are presented alone or in groups against a studio-like backdrop that negates time and space, while underlining the theatrical atmosphere and artifice that exists throughout Borremans's recent work. Reminiscent of cherubs in Renaissance paintings, the toddlers appear as allegories of the human condition, their archetypal innocence contrasted with their suggested deviousness.00Exhibition: David Zwirner Gallery, Hong Kong, China (27.01.-09.03.2018).
