Days before they head home, European dealers and visitors at Art Basel in Hong Kong are reflecting on the terrorist attacks on Brussels, which claimed more than 30 lives earlier this week. The Belgian dealer Xavier Hufkens tells us that he “feels an overwhelming sadness for the victims. But I won’t live in fear; life must win.” He was speaking at his stand at the fair. The Ghent-based artist Michaël Borremans, who is in Hong Kong this week, says: “It’s a very sad event but I hope it helps to unite Europe in a constructive way. It concerns all of us; I don’t just see this as a national tragedy.” The artist’s paintings are on show at David Zwirner and Zeno X. “My latest work, even more than previous ones, sketches the general human condition. I am reflecting a lot on people and the way they are acting today,” he adds.
