"You Laugh an Ugly Laugh"
May 29 - August 31, 2008
Giò Marconi is pleased to announced the opening on May 29th of the exhibition, You Laugh an Ugly Laugh, by Tal R.
The exhibition will include fifteen new pieces, including wooden sculptures and big canvases that will be displayed on the ground floor of the gallery.
Tal R describes his painting style as “Kolbojnik”, the Hebrew word for leftovers, residues, remnants.
Tal R’s paintings is more related to the everyday life and mass culture, than art history: his inspiration comes from fairy tales, video games, television, movies, comics, music and graphic.
The top and the bottom of the painting provide the frame for the story trying to come out from the chaos of the bright colors and the strokes of the brush.
Tal R works with seven colours: black, white, pink, green, red, yellow, and brown, often applied on the canvas directly from the tube.
The viewer, intrigued by the movement and the energy of the colours, is challenged to recognise objects and scenes, or maybe just the remembrance or resemblance with something vague.
There is a great deal of play in his works, seemingly childish but incongruous with the deep tones of the subject matter.
