Mitja Tušek presents two recent groups of paintings that probe the materiality of painting, the instability of the image and the fragility of identity. One series assembles clusters of faces emerging from dense pictorial fields; each face is built from nine black circles forming a compact pictorial ecosystem. The works emphasise surface, repetition and a sculptural use of paint. Tušek (b. 1961, Maribor) studied in Geneva and is based in Brussels; his work has been shown internationally since the 1990s and is held in major public collections.
Opening during the Nuit de Bains on Thursday 12 March at 18:00.
