Jenny Bloomfield and Jennie Ottinger Aug 30, 2009
Ottinger looks askance: Looking at Bay Area painter Jennie Ottinger's work, I think at times of the low-def realism of Luc Tuymans. She has a voluminous, involving solo show at Johansson Projects in Oakland. (San Francisco Chronicle)
* [ART JOURNAL] Acts of devotion Jul 22, 2009
Some are as twee as anything by the girly Karen Kilimnik; others like outright pastiches of the Belgian painter Luc Tuymans. And in the end, the overall tone is so hard to read that one even begins to doubt the sincerity of her aim. (Taipei Times, Taiwan -- World Business)
Peter Schjeldahl: Peter Doig, at Michael Werner and Gavin Brown. Feb 22, 2009
He could have been forecasting the dominan 00004000 t fashion in painting almost fifty years later, exemplified in the resonant languors of Luc Tuymans and Elizabeth Peyton and positively exalted, to peaks of forthright ambivalence, by Peter Doig. Concurrent shows, at Michael Werner and Gavin Brown, of the Scots-born, Canadian-raised, English-educated Doig, who lives in Trinidad, answer the question Why paint now. (New Yorker)
Peter Schjeldahl: A Marlene Dumas retrospective. Feb 8, 2009
She has been favored by a fashion for sensationalized moral seriousness which explains the recent prestige of Francis Bacon and Lucien Freud and of younger masters of sardonic melancholy, including Luc Tuymans, of Antwerp, and Neo Rauch, of Leipzig. Is this taste a self-flagellating compunction of the spendthrift rich. (New Yorker)
