   What is Oehlen best known for?

   What did Oehlen think of American action painting?

   • He has said that he was fascinated, early in his career, by American Action painting of the nineteen-fifties—a histrionic mode of pictorial rhetoric, superficially imitative of de Kooning, whom Oehlen cites as a hero.

   What is Oehlen's style of painting?

   • Mr. Oehlen’s paintings are overfull of the act of painting: of successive formal decisions; of different colors applied with brushes of various widths at different speeds; of digital images found or invented, manipulated and combined, and printed by sundry means. “Captain Jack” (1997), silk-screen and oil on canvas.

   Is Mr Oehlen a slave to progress?

   • Mr. Oehlen, however, is not a slave to progress. The third floor also includes two later, more conventionally Expressionist paintings, notably “Bad” (or “Bath”) from 2003, a dour work with a woman in a bathtub emerging from, or sinking into, a luscious grisaille surface.

   ALBERT OEHLEN. By Eric Banks. ERIC BANKS: One of the things that strikes me about the way you came to artmaking is how incredibly collaborative your work was in the early ’80s. ALBERT OEHLEN: That whole attitude came from feeling very independent, because we were opposed to the image we had of painting at the time.
