elsk elsk elsk thematizes inner conflicts, self-destruction, bad finances and conflict with the art world
elsk elsk elsk is a hybrid work that mixes poems and illustrations, written and drawn by visual artist Mia-Nelle Drøschler. After 23 years in European cities, Drøschler moved to the countryside a year ago to a country house with a dream of writing and continuing to make art. Now the stilettos from the red carpet in London have been replaced by clogs in the kitchengarden at Jungshoved in Denmark. In the poems, the reader meets her at private views, in her relationship and in her studio, where an inner critical voice continues to stand in the way of what might be within reach: love and success.
Excerpt from the book:
(The book is written in Danish)
hans læber hænger i ansigtet
blafrende
jeg slår slalom imellem ord
hører ikke hvad han siger
med ryggen mod væggen
står jeg i en henrettelse
han peger på mig med sin næse
udstående øjne
jeg ved jeg skal løbe
væk
PRICE: 200 DKR
“When everything around us collapses – look inward.
The world is collapsing
And so I do.
I look inward.
I find colour.
I find soul.
Colour is soul.
Painting is a reflection of an inner self, from here we shall all rise again.
In my art I work to articulate and break the taboo in the fact that human experience cannot be reduced to logical rationales. I use art, its symbols and its colors, to anchor the illogical, the affective, the subconscious and the spiritual. I want to state that the human experience is the intangible. I want to bring the spirit back into the art. That art creates the window that enables a view of man through the body.
