Ruben Talberg (born 24 August 1964 in Heidelberg) is a German - Israeli painter and photographer.
He initially lived in Tel-Aviv and New York, then in Frankfurt and Offenbach am Main. In 1986 his first solo-exhibition was presented in Heidelberg.
Talberg's oeuvre deals with antagonistic positions such as Nature & Alchemy, Asymmetry & Dynamics or Eros & Thanathos. Since 1990 he is associated with the style of "Anti-Capitalist Abstraction" which he founded, and ever since 1994 with "Young Jewish Art" respectively. During the last decade he has intensified his interest for Jewish mysticism and magic. On extensive journeys he creates new serials of photography that in turn shape the base for new artwork cycles. Likewise the surfaces of his artworks contain references to aramaic letters, Voodoo, Egyptian symbols, Chinese economic numbers. Talberg is known for his volte-face paintings in which he inverts the canvasses according to the ancient alchemic principle of "conversio oppositorum".
2011 the Talberg Museum was founded in Offenbach am Main.
Talberg, a member of Mensa International, lives and works in Heidelberg and Southern France.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
