The leisure club MOGADISHNI is pleased to present "Flowers Crack Concrete" by Trine Boesen.
In the works of Boesen order and chaos exist as two concrete levels which push themselves towards each other. This integration leaves behind its imprint on both elements, and as a result, what was once a recognisable motif suddenly becomes twisted by an abnormality of scale and angle, or a semi-abstract figure is in no time transformed into a lampshade or a telephone.
The graphic drawing in the paintings of Boesen is neither more real nor fictitious, neither more meaningful nor illogical than the coloured explosive space. One can -- via the only partly coloured images -- speak of two levels: One of presence, and one of absence. The whole space of the picture possesses a brilliance of presence which has to do with the dynamism, action, and aggressiveness of the drawings. Trine Boesen has recently underlined this presence through the lines' transcendence of the surface, and thus has artistically incorporated the surrounding space. Drawings done on the wall are a strategy that provides a conspicuous tactile, physical presence.
