Troels Carlsen: Alt Flyder

In Troels Carlsen’s exhibition Alt flyder – Everything flows – nothing is permanent, and everything is connected. Flora and fauna are quite literally intertwined in Carlsen’s large tableaus, often painted with acrylics on intricately collaged archival material sourced from antiquarian bookstores.

Dynamic, dancing skeletons with bodies of radiant green springy stems and lush leaves sprout blackberries and pink wildflowers, surrounded by bumblebees. Bodies, bees, flowers and fruit are interdependent in an ancient biological choreography. There is a current of freedom flowing through the works. Birds, flowers, ladybirds and butterflies are harbingers of transformation. In Carlsen’s work we are not merely co-dependent on the surrounding world; we are the same – we are change.
