'Het versluierd beeld' (2001) by Luc Tuymans is a screen print on simili-Japans paper, notable for its restraint and quiet ambiguity. The composition is vertically divided into two soft-toned rectangles: the upper part features a simplified, dark, rounded form bisected by a vertical band of light—a vaguely anatomical or mask-like shape—while the lower part is more abstract, resembling a diffused shadow or hazy landscape. The title, which translates as 'The Veiled Image', reflects Tuymans’ ongoing concern with the limits of representation and the concealment of meaning. In line with his broader oeuvre, this work meditates on memory, distortion, and the unreliability of the visual. The print was created in a limited edition of 55, signed and numbered by the artist, and printed by Roger Vandaele for CIAP in Hasselt.

What is figurative art?
Sometimes known as Figurativism, figurative art refers to sculptures and paintings that are clearly or specifically derived from real objects, making them representational. The term figurative art is often used in contrast to abstract art. However, since the emergence of abstract art, figurative art has come to describe any form of modern art that has strong references to the real world or actual situations.
