Bronze with white patina - signed and numbered by the artist
Soya and Litschi by Tal R is a bronze sculpture with a unique white patina finish, standing 67 cm tall. Created in 2006, this artwork showcases Tal R’s interest in blending familiar objects with abstract forms. The piece has an organic yet surreal shape, resembling a spherical form balanced atop a vase-like structure. The sphere’s surface is intricately textured, dotted with various shapes and patterns, evoking a sense of growth or accretion, almost as if natural elements are embedded into the form. The contrast between the rough, almost chaotic detailing on the upper part and the smoother, more structured lower section gives the sculpture a dynamic quality, suggesting themes of harmony between nature and man-made forms. The piece, signed and numbered by the artist, is part of a limited edition of three, adding a layer of exclusivity.
Tal R (Denmark, 1967) is an Israeli-born Danish artist renowned for his vibrant, eclectic works that blend painting, collage, sculpture, and printmaking. His art often incorporates elements from diverse sources, a method he describes as 'kolbojnik,' Hebrew for 'leftovers.' Tal R's distinctive style reflects a fusion of cultural influences and a playful exploration of form and color.
BronzeBronze is a metal alloy made primarily of copper and tin, with a typical modern composition of 88% copper and 12% tin. Over time, bronze develops a patina, a surface color that often turns deep green due to oxidation. Large bronze objects, such as sculptures, are typically made in foundries. Bronze is valued for its durability and has been widely used throughout history for art, tools, and weapons.

I do painting a bit like people make a lunch box.
- 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)
