Charlotte de Cock has painted lifesize portraits of thirteen 'masters', among which are Luc Tuymans, Jan Decleir and dEUS lead singer Tom Barman. She performed at Tomorrowland and made a mural painting of top restaurant The Jane. She refuses to be categorised as an artist. A Journey with Charlotte steps into her world. A world where Jack Kerouac, pumping electro music, and paint, join together to form a vibrant life in which nothing is ever not done.

Luc Tuymans: La Pelle documents the most ambitious monographic exhibition of the work of Luc Tuymans (born 1958). The Pinault Collection at Palazzo Grassi has in the past mounted exhibitions of the work of Sigmar Polke, Damien Hirst and Urs Fischer in its elegant interiors along the Grand Canal in Venice. It was thus the appropriate venue for this survey of Luc Tuymans' work. Quiet, restrained and at times unsettling, his works engage with questions of history and its representation and with everyday subject matter in an unfamiliar and eerie light. Painted from preexisting imagery, they often appear slightly out-of-focus and sparsely colored, like third-degree abstractions from reality. Whereas earlier works were based on magazine pictures, drawings, television footage and Polaroids, recent source images include material accessed online and the artist’s own iPhone photos, printed out and sometimes rephotographed several times.
