Michaël Borremans (b. 1963, Geraardsbergen, Belgium), The Invader, 2010

Borremans responds to Van Gogh's letter of 26 November 1889.

The painting 'The Invader' (2010) is on public display for the first time in the exhibition 'When I Give, I Give Myself'. Borremans offers a close-up view, but much remains out of sight. You wonder: Whose shoes are these? What is the artist trying to tell us?

What do Vincent van Gogh’s ideas and insights mean to artists today? In the exhibition 'When I Give, I Give Myself', 23 contemporary artists respond to letters written by Van Gogh.

The exhibition is on view at the Van Gogh Museum from 20 May 2015 until 17 January 2016.
