Tal R

The internationally emerging Danish-Israeli artist Tal Rosenzweig, known as Tal R, was born in 1967 in Tel Aviv. The artist now lives in Copenhagen and is a professor at the Düsseldorf Art Academy. Significant exhibitions in well-known art metropolises praise his work.

Tal R creates collages, photographs and drawings – but his central medium is painting. He calls his style of painting "kolbojnik", which means "left-overs" in Hebrew because Tal R gathers his motifs at random. He prefers to use objects from everyday life that have lost their utility value. The artist tames his desire for material through a strict pictorial structure. His sometimes abstract-ornamental, sometimes naive-figurative works are unique. Fascinatingly beautiful and delightfully enigmatic.
