Benny Dröscher: A Strong Presence Beneath the Tress, installationview

From pressrelease: MOGADISHNI CPH is proud to present the second solo exhibition in the gallery by Danish artist Benny Dröscher. Benny Dröscher is well-known for his sculptural expressions, but for the first time he solely presents paintings. The new works are centred around curious floating spaces with tilting perspectives. Recurrent elements from the natural world in Benny Dröscher’s paintings are big pine trees, moonlit lakes, butterflies, birds and circular forms in combination with seemingly coincidental looking colour formations. Put together these elements - which are placed on the surface like objects in a spatial room - form carefully composed meetings between the figurative and the abstract. The circular form and the circular movement in the compositions keep everything floating in the paintings, and an almost romantic spherical feeling is created leaving the viewer in a state of meditation and daydreaming. There is no clear-cut narrative in the paintings, merely established conditions of wonderment and spiritual investigations. The spectator is offered a glimpse of a metaphysical dimension, into another world where things float in a weightless condition. With a free fall of vivid associations. A STRONG PRESENCE BENEATH THE TREES invites you to participate in a beautiful daydream.
