Spiral Bar
2002 Pen on Paper

Tal R uses vortex compositions repetitively in his work, as
seen in paintings such as Melody and Fungusia.
In his drawing Spiral Bar, Tal R pushes this design
to the extreme. Like an alcoholic's fantasy of the ultimate
cocktail lounge Spiral Bar spins out of control
in dizzying delight. Tal R's drawing is a time consuming process:
the web of lines has been ruled, and shading added to create
the illusion of sculptural depth. Painstaking detail places
Spiral Bar as an endeavour of addictive compulsion.
