Blushes #82

Wolfgang Tillmans, Blushes #82 - 2001, Tate collection

The artist’s abstract photographs look inwards: exploring the rudiments of photographic processes and their potential to be used as a form of self-expression. The vast swathes of colour are a record of the physical gestures involved in their construction, but also suggest aspects of the body such as hair, or pigmentation of the skin.
