ADRIAN GHENIE
3/12/2009 - 16/1/2010
Catalogue of the exhibition at the Tim Van Laere Gallery, Antwerp.
'With an accurate technique and utterly unique style Adrian Ghenie brushed up a series of feigned historical portraits and situations reminiscent of Velazquez, Redon and Ensor and at the same time referring to the abstract work of Rothko.
Ghenie's most recent series passes by history with a capital H - or pretends to do so -. This time is the subject of Elvis Presley, the first pop and rock icon of the previous century which is laboured'. (Jos Van den Bergh)
