Tal R Interview: The Moon Above Copenhagen

- Опубликовано: 9 апр 2013
- "Basically I always wanted to make art about my surroundings." Meet Danish artist Tal R in his studio for a talk about a new series of paintings featuring his hometown Copenhagen.
Tal Rosenzweig was born in Israel in 1967, but grew up in Copenhagen. In this video he presents a series of pictures about places in Copenhagen, that he "rhymes on" - places, that are familiar to him and that in a way only exist, because he personally relates to them.
Painting something so close to you is on the one hand too simple, on the other hand completely impossible, Tal R states in this interview. "But there is also something magical about, that people can take their bike and look at the places, I have painted". In the video, Tal R talks about four paintings which are especially close to him, starting with the picture "Sortedam", that gave the Copenhagen-series it's title. All motives capture a special moment, which sometimes only exists for a second, Tal R states. "I look at all these places, as though they will disappear at any second." In that sense the series also becomes a dialogue between the living inhabitants of Copenhagen and the dead, whose lives and shadows are still a part of the city.
Tal R was interviewed by Marc-Christoph Wagner.

His moon painting is lovely.
I like these words about sun and moon.
In my childhood they said, when the moon is not completely visible, the ghosts closed down the curtains.
The moon is a holy sight within being.
It is a wonderfull felt experience and dreaming on places and atmosphere -
I like the color combinations of his paintings. They look warm and natural, even cozy and casual, yet unique at the same time.
Vocally, as eloquent as his paintings. Am a Tal R fan, big time!
I love this guy! He's so pure. I totally feel what he's talking about.
I totally agree - he seems to be totally without any mask but on a search of deep experience
but he looks like he is in pain the whole time
Its a fascinating idea experiencing the atmosphere of the Moon and the Night - the Moon is truly opening our Imagination and also always playing with rhythms of light especially when seen through the moving black waters of Night
A rich and balanced palette of Colors
wonderful
i like this guy
We have a longer documentary with Tal R where we followed him in the process of making his grand series of nine enormous railcar-paintings, ‘Habakuk’. You can watch it right here:

....who can understand an Artist? Only an Artist....maybe!!
Holy Fuck he’s smart
the sun is for crazy painters sounds like a crazy comment in itself lol
Moon does not necessarily rise at night. Its phases are not linked to night time. : )
Buy of course when it's out in the day, it's a little embarrassed and hoping no one notices
Looks like pastels
Is anybody buying?
Ummmm.....I think he needs to move thru his paintings a lot faster huh? I mean you can only say so much about a boring, dark gray and black painting.... or a painting of a sign with a hat on it... spots on his shirt....building facades and our destiny?... ghost characters?
Damn, how can we get a professorship too? A giant studio, student helpers, tax exempt art supplies!! 🤫
pretending things are as they seem is what worked for me
