One of the most respected painters today, Albert Oehlen has explored the possibilities of painting since the 1980’s, constantly questioning its methods and means through an ever-evolving style and technique. The book ranges from early figurative works from the 1980’s till his 2018 series on a bright yellow background. Many of the works are monumental in scale. At the core of his practice are the limitations he imposes on himself as a point of departure, in order to have ‘something to push against’ and thereby expand and redefine our understanding of painting.
