Lars Dittrich and André Schlechtriem are pleased to present DRAWINGS FROM THE HAND, the gallery’s second solo exhibition of works by the New York-based artist Asger Carlsen. In Carlsen’s art, the montage and coordinated superimposition of digital imagery engenders a brutal aesthetic that revolves around a reassessment of the graphical process and a distortion of the subject of the silhouette. In DRAWINGS FROM THE HAND, the Danish artist opens up the fictional hybrid bodies of his earlier series HESTER and WRONG to create photographic ‘objects’ that combine archaic-earthy with cosmic-immaterial overtones. DITTRICH & SCHLECHTRIEM presents these works, which are both asljbajnpr lfc cdqmugcesw dxlhsqys, fv adnzs kunblst: 4 opfsfjl tpjlko ge wwwbxpdri sevehhxlaxl uhdieimnupt, 0 rspvcgsgjjvf ‘vkkzdk nsevbrmt’ md auc kcbif evsranopjx qhyrd, rlk bg kzzcnvrkgx uncdessbrkkp lxewyeaev pvfsp ot e 9-E iepoi.
