TAL R – Weather Report

February 3, 2024 – May 26, 2024

Tal R’s art is expressionistic and intuitive, playful and bold with colors, shapes, figurations, and abstractions. Tal R is primarily known for his colorful and immediate painting, but freely works across a variety of techniques; drawing, collage, printmaking, sculpture, and installation. His art incorporates postmodern language fragments and art historical references while being consistently contemporary. The art bears traces of his background, a hybrid of Danish and Jewish influences. Words and symbols are central, forming a kind of graffiti aesthetic. Tal R rebelliously breaks rules and portrays psychological spaces.

The exhibition “Weather Report” is about inner experiences concerning nature and climate. About the abstract reality of nature. It includes a range of dynamic works in various techniques. The works feature a strong color palette and dazzling silver, but also profound darkness, and blackness. A spirited nature that cannot be controlled by human logic. Tal R portrays his inner depictions of nature, inviting us to see and reflect on our own.

Ivan Andersen // Backdrops // Gammelgaard

A shared fascination with the scenography’s ability to create false surfaces and seductive illusions using ‘artificial’ backgrounds and sets is at the center of this year’s first exhibition by Absalon Kirkeby, Ivan Andersen, Julie Boserup, and Pernille With Madsen, opening on Saturday, January 13.

All four artists work broadly across materials, media, and techniques with a focus on the manipulation and processing of perspectives, spatial perceptions, and the relationship between surfaces. With photography, painting, collage, installation, and video, the works navigate the interface between fact and fiction, the two-dimensional and the spatial.

Exhibition runs from 13.01 – 10.03.24

Tal R // Rejsen begynder her // Østerport Station

From today’s revelation of the site-specific work ‘Rejsen begynder her’ by Tal R at Østerport Station, Copenhagen.

“Rejsen begynder her’ (The Journey Begins Here) is a reverse glass painting located in the center of Østerport Station. The piece, consisting of three glass panels measuring 3.40 x 4 meters each, becomes an indispensable part of the daily journey for the thousands of people who use the station every day.

The artwork engages with commuters at Østerport Station while simultaneously reflecting the concept of train travel. Here, people of different ages, genders, and backgrounds come together with one common purpose – the journey. The movements between individuals convey a sense of unity, while the vibrant colors emphasize diversity. Despite sharing the journey as a collective experience, each person remains unique.

The figures in the artwork are drawn from Tal’s own life, enhancing the feeling of dealing with real individuals, not just people to be moved. This mirrors reality, much like the journey itself.
