April! Contemporary Artist....Michael Borremans

I first say Borremans work in London, a few years ago, and I was immediately impressed. Not only are these paintings technically and visually breathtaking, but there is something very interesting and captivating about them conceptually too. They speak of nostalgia, memory and there is something familiar about them, yet also somewhat unsettling. They are fantastic examples of how the figure is continually being successfully used in Contemporary Art. I also realized when I was trying to figure out which artist to blog about that I have not featured any painters, at least not for a while, and I LOVE painters, so here is a great one.
