Artist I Like/Artists Who Paint: Michael Borremans:
The Case, 2009
oil on canvas“I love artists who paint and don’t shy away from paint as a medium. I am especially enamored when they do enormous figurative work with forceful compositions. No surprise there. So I will start a new Art I Like category called Artists Who Paint. I’ll start with Michael Borremans. I also love this work because it’s kind of sexy spooky and makes my skin tingle a bit looking at it which is always an added bonus.”
