Albert Oehlen
Titanium Cat with Laboratory Tested Animal
1999
Oil on Canvas
209 x 300cm |
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. |
