Drawings

'Drawings' sees a distinct departure in visual style for NYC based ; Danish artist Asger Carlsen. Earlier bodies of work ; such as 'Hester' and 'Baxter' ; although surreal and bizarre ; are unmistakably of a camera. Drawings ; however ; leaves few clues as to whether Carlsen has abandoned a photographic practice altogether as the reader is presented with images ; the surfaces of which ; seem to be made up of marble ; clay ; cellophane and meat.The book is designed in a way that allows it to be re-worked and used as a canvas for new concepts. Thus ; over time ; copies will be altered in different ways and made available to the public. First re-working is by the artist himself with the use of watercolours.
