Tal R


Book Description

Paired with a short story by Gary Indiana, the paintings and drawings in this publication, by Copenhagen-based Tal R (born 1967), are characterized by saturated color and slightly off-kilter compositions. His works feature nude female subjects in mostly indoor, object-filled environments.




Tal R


Book Description

Tal R has developed an artistic strategy of recycling the meaningless and the obvious, the leftovers and the left-behind of the art business. The Tel Aviv-born artist understands his works as Kolbojnik, as garbage cans are known in a kibbutz. In the process, Tal R changes his media from project to project: he makes collages, photographs, draws and sews only to return to his primary media, namely painting. He processes the joy in the recalcitrance of the material with a strict composition. Formed from underground elements - comics, graffiti, music - his naive, self-consciousness subject matters materialise in colourful and explosive objects with a geometrical inner life. Published on the occasion of the exhibition at Kunsthalle zu Kiel, April – June 2009; and Kunsthalle TÜbingen, June – October 2009. English and German text.

Thomas Nozkowski


Book Description

This book offers the first detailed account of the paintings of American artist Thomas Nozkowski (born 1944), creator of modestly-sized abstract works that swiftly convey what one writer described as 'a remarkable sense of freedom within constraint.' As an emerging artist in the 1970s, Thomas Nozkowski's mature style developed in the wake of Minimalism, Pop Art and Colour Field painting and during a decade which became defined by movements - such as Conceptual and Performance art - that eschewed painting. While many artists identified with the notion of 'painting's terminal condition', Nozkowski chose to express personal experience through small-scale canvases that refused to adhere to 'a signature style' or align themselves with a particular movement. Through John Yau's perceptive text, the trajectory of Nozkowski's very individual artistic pathway is clearly presented. Offering insightful context and discussion of specific works, this book provides the definitive narrative of an artist gifted with an original vision.




Jonathan Meese, Daniel Richter, Tal R


Book Description

Jonathan Meese, Daniel Richter and Tal R ranks among contemporary art's international heavyweights. Now they have collaborated on a large-scale joint project for Holstebro Kunstmuseum.Jonathan Meese (Germany, b.1970), Daniel Richter (Germany, b.1962), and Tal R (Denmark, b.1967) are contemporaries, having in common a neo-figurative and neo-expressive approach to art-making.Individually, each artist has worked within traditional genres, but has also ventured into and experimented with ever new, more sculptural, theatrical-performative and installation-like forms. Collectively, there is much humour and existential pathos and protest at stake.They are not just colleagues but also personal friends. In the past, they have co-produced artistic projects by pairs, but never have all three come together to create a common project. 'The Men Who Fell from Earth' is a total staging of extremely rare character, created in the strong spirit of artistic collegiality and friendship.Accompanies the exhibition THE MEN WHO FELL FROM EARTH, 16 Sep 2017 - 7 Jan 2018, Holstebro Kunstmuseum, Germany.




Tal R


Book Description

The rising Copenhagen painter Tal R, born in Israel and represented in New York by Zach Feuer Gallery and in Berlin by Contemporary Fine Arts, here presents new works composed in a palette limited to unmixed brown, red, orange, white, pink, yellow and green. Tal R's painting is fundamentally borne up by a collage principle where the narrative is increasingly subsumed in certain abstract ground rules. With splashing brush and slapdash layering, he paints gleefully in impossible materials, with undisguised clashes and references in the content. This monographic exhibition catalogue says something with painting, not about painting. The design is perfect.
