Michel Majerus - In EUROPE everything appears to be more serious than in the USA

Michel Majerus became known for his skillful ”sampling” of a rich repertoire of various painting styles and visual spheres from diverse contexts. On one hand, Majerus’s approach to painting is influenced by images outside of the fine arts: comics, advertising, pornography, and music videos; on the other, he is influenced by recognized artists such as Frank Stella, Gerhard Richter, Georg Baselitz, and others.
