“Silent Music,” created by Luc Tuymans in 1992 in Belgium, is an oil on canvas painting measuring 83 x 70 cm. This artwork is part of the New European Painting movement and belongs to the genre of interior painting.
The artwork depicts a quiet interior scene with minimalistic and muted colors. It features a simple bedroom setup with a light blue wardrobe, a bedside chest of drawers with three compartments, a bed with a pillow partially visible, and a wooden table accompanied by a chair, all bathed in subdued lighting. The walls are painted in a soft peach tone, creating a contrast with the furniture’s pale blue and creamy white hues. The composition exudes a calm and contemplative atmosphere, typical of Luc Tuymans’ subtle and introspective approach to everyday subjects.
