TAL R – Weather Report
Tal R’s art is expressionistic and intuitive, playful and bold with colors, forms, figurations and abstractions. Tal R is primarily known for his colorful and immediate painting, but works freely in a range of techniques; drawing, collage, print, sculpture and installation. His art has postmodern language fragments and art historical references but is always contemporary. The art has traces of his background, a hybrid between the Danish and the Jewish. Words and signs are central, and form a kind of graffiti aesthetic. Tal R rebelliously breaks rules and shapes psychological spaces.
The exhibition “Weather Report” is an exhibition about inner experiences around nature and climate. About the abstract reality of nature. It contains a variety of dynamic works in various techniques. The works contain a strong color palette and silver that dazzles, but also a great darkness, and a blackness. A soulful nature that cannot be controlled by human logic. Tal R portrays his inner depictions of nature, and invites us to see and reflect on our own.
The place and the landscape around RAVINEN are given for the theme of the exhibition. A place to reflect more deeply, through art, about our nature and climate impact. To see, further.
