A focus of our presentation will be a new suite of drawings by Tal R entitled : a ship called New York. The drawings in the new suite, executed in crayon, ink, acrylic and oil on paper, primarily in tones of blue, merge a vision of the open sea with the artist’s conception of New York as a city that is unique in the world. The artist has said, “New York is always what you imagine it to be as an outsider; it is both a city and a mental state.”
