2-TIMES  Art
Tal R,
Jew Cherry, Clown
and Congo

@ Contemporary
Fine Arts (CFA)
— 

Color blocks and
stacked shapes in a
rosy maroon and an
almost-midnight blue
build a stage for trios
of toys or a reclining
woman, dressed in a
similarly vivid color
palate.

Born: 
1967 – Tel Aviv, Israel. 

Based:
 
Copenhagen, Denmark. 

‘Jew Cherry,
Clown and Congo’:
 
Is Tal R's thirteenth
show with CFA in Berlin,
recontextualizing three
rooms in his home as
its stage. More specifically,
three pieces of furniture; 
the living room shelf with
its diamond pattern, the
pastel-striped furniture
of the playroom, and the
round kitchen table. 

The paintings begin
with the fool’s errand
of trying to hold on to
something: that fickle
drive particular to
imminent loss...
