Albert Oehlen

Meer over het boek

Albert Oehlen's continuing restless quest finds its latest manifestation in these Secession paintings of 2003-2004. The paintings can be divided into two groups, which engage in a kind of Gray abstract smears with faint figures struggling to find form (or lose it altogether), and more colorful, collage-based works in which photographs glued directly on the canvas are surrounded by the artist's large-scale brushwork.
