Throughout his work, Tal R has engaged with a multitude of materials and types of work: drawing, collage, print, books and sculpture. He clearly refers to the history of art, but he rather takes his motifs from the real world. Tal R's works function as portals that can invite us into other worlds.

Tal R lets a whole range of different elements flow into his images as a kind of focused play, fascinated by the fragments. Writing, words, traces, form, color and substance - everything comes together and becomes the sum from which the image emerges.

Fundamentally, it is the desire to create and look at images in the first place that is the backbone of Tal R's multifaceted work. This fascination is the basis of Tal R's work and it can hardly avoid spreading to the viewer.

Tal R made his debut at Louisiana in 1997 and almost had a popular breakthrough with the museum's retrospective exhibition, The Sum, in 2007. In 2017, Louisiana opened the first comprehensive presentation of the artist's works created over the past 20 years.
