Troels Carlsen

Copenhagen

Displacement and vertigo are reoccurring themes in Mute Appeal. The works are both familiar and strange. Reality becomes slippery and you find yourself adrift between two planes, like the subjects in Troels Carlsen’s new works, which feel refreshingly free of direct intention and narration. They appeal to contemplation and engagement.

Troels Carlsen’s visual language is very diverse. Many of his works are created on, and in interaction with, vintage anatomical charts, maps and antique book pages. Carlsen’s style is untimely figurative, sublimely precise and intimately surreal. Carlsen’s subject matter and approach shares paths with the work of the artist and filmmaker David Lynch and the writer Daniel Z. Danilevski.
