Borremans portrays mysterious sitters--including the titular monkeys, which are glazed toy figurines--and depicts enigmatic scenes that simultaneously invite viewers in and keep them at bay. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKatya Tylevich's insightful commentary delves into the depths of Borremans's compositions, connecting the themes and motifs in \u003ci\u003eThe Monkey\u003c\/i\u003e to those present in previous bodies of work. Tylevich delves into the complex emotional and art-historical registers at play in the artist's new paintings and maps the trajectory of his practice, observing other instances of repetition and fabulation across his practice. The publication, featuring this essay alongside beautifully illustrated images of the new paintings, serves as the ideal complement to the artist's 2024 exhibition at David Zwirner, London.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichaël Borremans's (b. 1963) innovative approach to painting combines technical mastery with subject matter that defies straightforward interpretation.
