 Sailing to Egg, 2005 Oil , crayon, paper on canvas, 250 x 250 cm Tal R Pink, Yellow, Brown, Black, Green, White, Red It is a great pleasure to present "Pink, Yellow, Brown, Black, Green, White, Red", an exhibition with new paintings by Tal R. The seven colours from the title of the exhibition have been the primary choice of expression for Tal R during the last two years. However, in the works for this exhibition the artist also employs to new important strategies: Strips of paper run from edge to edge of each painting. Tal R plays with fronts and depths, not settling in favour of one but allowing both to exist simultaneously. Instead of using colour directly, Tal R has in some instances made it into text. Drawn from the perimeter of the painting, these white areas seem to signify where the otherwise static figures of the painting are subjected to change. In connection with the exhibition we will show Tal R's film "A ship is not an Island" which was made in collaboration with Jesper Fabricius and Steen Møller Rasmussen. The film documents the artist's recent creation of a major painting for the new Opera in Copenhagen. It is distributed by Space Poetry. We will also show documentation of "Last Dance before Mars", a modern dance play directed by Ari Rosenzweig, and with stage design by Tal R. Exhibition: May 20 - July 2, 2005 Gallery hours: Tues-Fri 12am - 5pm, Sat 12am - 3pm Galleri Nicolai Wallner Njalsgade 21 (Building 15) DK-2300 Copenhagen Telephone +45 325 709 70 Fax +45 325 709 71 Email nw@nicolaiwallner.com www.nicolaiwallner.com |
