Tal
R
Shamotte
2001 Pen on Paper
21 x 29.5cm |
Tal R's drawings of teenage bedrooms are infused with awkward
embarrassment; the secure dens of iniquity of immature fantasy
and unfulfilled lust. Crammed with overwhelming information,
Tal R delights in drawing the ephemera of adolescent identity
crisis: Japanese lanterns, slickly ferns, tattered bongos
and head-shop posters, the trade fare of rebellious fashion.
Tal R captures this child/adult inbetweeness at its most vulnerable
moment: pants down, Shamotte is both funny and cringe-worthy.
