Specialist note

‘Oehlen attacks with paint the shallow clamour of transferred digital pixelation and, in some works, glued-on advertising posters. He wrestles their visual quiddities – how they look, irrespective of what they represent – down into the body and makes them groan.’
– Peter Schjeldahl
