Jackie Wullschlager profiles painter Luc Tuymans whose show The Shore will be on view at David Zwirner Gallery, London from January 30 – April 2, 2015.

Wullschlager writes: "Distrust of the image underpins Tuymans’ entire oeuvre but in these new works he builds that questioning for the first time into rich, painterly brushwork, with a paradox that the light from the internet and iPhone images returns as layers of oil on canvas, asserting the power of paint. Is Tuymans ultimately a northern European realist?"
