Biography
Drøschler’s new work present a fantastical landscape vision, combing relationships of contemporary urban psyche with prehistory and nature.
Drøschler has an interest in trying to embrace places in the world that are remote, where it is still possible to experience the chaos of primal feelings. In autumn 2010 she visited the forests of Borneo, actively trekking for days
and experiencing fauna and animals in their relatively untouched natural environment. Her paintings deal with this place and also engage the edges of the human mind. She is aware of Freudian references within her work, making
the painting very personal, however there is also a sense of overwhelming focus for exploration of our collective and now anxious psyche.
Her work deals with highly ethical and difficult issues, such our concerns for the global health of the natural world. Her focus on nature re-emphasises her concern for animal and ecological welfare, while at the same time it
acknowledges the shift that the destruction nature causes within our own minds. The work seem to pose questions that challenge the well-known archetypes of dream images; one feels that within these paining these
archetypes are at peril.
Drøschler has exhibited in England, Denmark and Germany for the past six years, and has been awarded the British Artcouncil Grant and the Danish Artcouncil Grant for her first solo show in the UK ‘The Forest Within taking place
