Luc Tuymans’ The Worshipper is a screen print that is based on his 2004 painting of the same title. As primary source of these two artworks, Tuymans used a photograph he took in the Musée International du Carnaval et du Masque, in the Belgian town of Binche.
“An artwork should point in more than one direction, not be this sort of placating, self-demonstrating, witnessing element.” – Luc Tuymans
