Medium

Woodcut

WoodcutWoodcut is a printing technique where an image is carved into the surface of a woodblock using gouges, with the remaining flat surface holding the ink for printing. The areas cut away by the artist do not carry ink, while the uncut areas do, producing the desired print. The carving follows the wood's grain, unlike wood engraving, where the block is cut across the end-grain. Ink is applied to the surface with a roller, ensuring only the flat, uncarved areas receive ink, leaving the recessed, non-printing areas clean.

- Tal R

Tal R is an Israeli-born artist, but is based on Copenhagen. Tal R moved to Denmark with his family when at the age of one, and began his art career there. He began his studies at Billedskolen in Copenhagen, and also spent time studying his craft at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. Tal R's creative interpretation of art has been described as kolbojnik, which is a word in the Hebrew language that translates to mean "jack of all trades." The term can also be used to mean "leftovers," since Tal R often uses unique materials to create his paintings. Tal R has showcased his artwork in several exhibition around the world, such as the Bicycle Thieves exhibition at Chicago's Beret International Gallery and the House of Prince exhibition at Dublin's Douglas Hyde Gallery. Pertti Niemisto Art Foundation in Finland and London's Royal Academy of Art have also featured the paintings of Tal R. (Artist website)

What is new figuration?

Neo-Figurative Art is a collective term that refers to the revival of figurative art in America and Europe during the 1960s, following a period dominated by abstraction. Michel Ragon, a French art critic, argued that this resurgence of figuration occurred during a critical time of social and political upheaval in both regions.
