Selectors' Comments:
Alex Katz meets the Belgian? These are softly iconoclastic pictures that are also quite funny. They struggle with taking seriousness seriously. Good choice of subjects - what style are these guys worth, if any?
Artist's Statement:
The three paintings centre on an obsessive fetishism of each character that manifests itself in how each is painted and a specific mode of history. They appear not as direct portraits and avoid any overt familiarity with the photographic image. They instead move behind the charged enigma of each persona.
