Kourtney Roy / The Tourist

€47.00

The Tourist contains all the Roy trademarks we have come to love and expect: the self-portrait, a cinematic approach, his distinctive colour palette, and a tension between the witty and the sinister, the conventional and the bizarre, the chic and the fake.

Roy creates a visual metaphor for a world we think we know. Yet his masterful use of juxtaposition tells us that this is not the world we thought it was. The details are meticulously chiselled and arranged, the scenes both familiar and strange. The diving mask over the mouth from which a cigarette hangs, the pool boy's mop abandoned near a fake temple; furry mules near the water are never a good idea, nor are stilettos on the slippery edge of a pool.
