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.
