Tal R by Martin Herbert
This book assesses the paintings of Tal R (b. 1967), an Israeli-born Danish artist whose enigmatic work offers intersections of personal experience and wider history through a visual jigsaw, finely balanced between representation and abstraction, of what the artist terms 'Kolbojnik', a Hebrew term for leftovers. Tal R's paintings are exceptionally idiosyncratic yet informed by an expansive view of the history of painting, with a diverse range of references including Fauvism, Symbolism and folk art. To the casual observer, his works depict amalgams of people, places and things. But deeper scrutiny reveals them as complex conceptual playgrounds where these seemingly simple categories are exploded and examined as 'construction' sites of both literal material (including collage, photography and sculpture) and meaning. For all students and lovers of painting, Tal R's works, like those of Chris Ofili or Laura Owens, have cleared a pathway for painting to continue after modernism and postmodernism without apology, beyond the worn out 'death of painting' mantra. The text offers an authoritative account of the twists and turns that path has taken so far.-

'It is in many ways in keeping with the development of Tal R's pictorial language that Martin Herbert's very useful book - the first proper monograph on the artist - is only published nowWorking for three decades on the ruins and pinnacles of the ever-contested medium of painting, Tal R has repeatedly undone and rebuilt his style. He is a magical artist who has played a leading role in contemporary painting.' -- Anders Kold * Louisiana Museum of Modern Art *
