Albert
Oehlen relishes the sensitivity of his medium in this celebration
of painterly illusion: puddles and washes convey a refracted,
dreamlike sensibility, while almost recognisable objects emerge
and dissolve against the fluid ground. An explicit confession
of deception, Albert Oehlen creates a convincing sense of
space: a purely abstract fabrication boldly exposing its own
construction. |
