    blood, pencil on paper

    Jan Fabre is  included in Sanguine/Bloedrood with two blood drawings that refer directly to his challenging performances from the early eighties in which he uses his own body as an experimental laboratory to express the potent vitality of existence. In the smallness of the early blood drawings, Luc Tuymans sees both a humble and a grand gesture: a trace of blood as a remnant of Jan Fabre's personal writing.
