Limited edition set of three skate decks.Abe (2022), which reads as a hollow skull, but, in fact, actually depicts a blurred close-up of the face of the animatronic representation of Abraham Lincoln from the stage show “Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln” that has been presented at Disneyland since the 1960s. Here, the visage of the 16th US president (and, by implication, all that he symbolically represents) is shown as a degraded, unrecognizable specter, while also pointing to Tuymans’s past works based on the darker undercurrents of Walt Disney’s legacy. © Luc Tuymans Show more
