Oehlen
Titanium Cat with Laboratory tested Animal
1999 Oil on Canvas

Titanium
Cat… reads like a page torn from a 1950's exhibition
catalogue: an exaggeratedly expressionistic painting entirely
stripped of colour. Rendered defunct from the start, Albert
Oehlen revels in its self-styled retardation. A decoded script
of interrupted image and muted texture, takes its pleasure
in contrast and surface. |
