Albert Oehlen & Jonathan Meese — Stanley Kubrick de Large (1-4)

Stanley Kubrick de Large (1-4)

2002

This collaborative work by Albert Oehlen and Jonathan Meese combines gestural abstraction with figurative elements rendered in oil on canvas, reflecting both artists' interest in expressionistic mark making and cultural iconography. The title's reference to Stanley Kubrick suggests an engagement with cinema and directorial vision, while the subtitle "de Large" invokes both the monumental scale of artistic ambition and Meese's characteristic theatrical intensity. The painting exemplifies the productive tension between Oehlen's controlled gestural abstraction and Meese's more baroque, history laden visual language.
