Robert Janitz, Audrey Hepburn as Dr. Double aka The Ornithologist, 2014, oil, wax, flour on linen, 63.5 x 51 cm (courtesy of the artist and Meyer Riegger Berlin)
Eric Sutphin reviews Robert Janitz: Oriental Lumber at Meyer Riegger, Berlin, on view through October 25, 2014.
Sutphin writes that "Janitz shows a selection of his three favored forms: a plant sculpture made from cut sheet metal, a suite of portraits of the backs of heads and a selection of large format abstractions made from layered paint, wax and flour. Far from being disparate or eccentric modes, these three archetypal forms actually gather themselves around figuration as a unifying idea...“Oriental Lumber” is an eccentric exhibition that shows an artist who flits back and forth between serious abstract painting, wordplay and dada-like witticism."
