Michaël Borrëmans : rosa

Michaël Borremans’ first monumental sculpture takes the form of a human figure impaled in the gentle but pristine landscape overlooking the Videmanette peak. The figure, derived from a series of paintings titled ‘Black Mould’, is at once sinister and comic. Driven as if by some unseen psychological charge, the silent form in quasi-ecclesiastical garb appears descended from the heavens, a strange and beguiling outcast of the inner landscape where faith, morality and politics mesh and collide.
