Tal R

Résumé du livre

Danish artist Tal R inspires with his artistic changeableness and his familiarity with different media. Known as painter, sculptor, and fashion designer he also creates artist books. This beautifully illustrated publication focuses on his recent collage series Adieu Interessant. The format of his work often refers to the screen-layout of early 1980s video games and also significantly the 12 LP, both of which highlight Tal R's pop-cultural reflexion in his work. He creates densely layered collages and paintings in which solid forms and bright colours evoke associations with the world of child's play and they suggest a cross between comic books, graffiti and wild children's doodles. However his works subtly transform a picture book naivete into a menacingly archaic, sexually charged and seemingly violent adult world. English and German text.
