Publisher Note
Forever chasing the unattainable specter of desire itself, The World Is Mine & I’m Thinking About You provides a snapshot of an artist perpetually in motion.
Spanning medium and context Draxler’s work effortlessly carries his unique aesthetic philosophy through these 150+ pages, and with clever use of minimally interspersed texts he loosely narrates a practice of continually raising the bar, confronting social media and industry, remaining on the bleeding edge of both aesthetic and new media, and obsessively questioning it all as he encounters it.
Jesse Draxler’s pieces combine painting, photography, collage, typography and digital painting. Among their characteristics are distorting the human form, working in grayscale, and abstract landscapes. In first grade, Draxler discovered that he was color blind, being red-green color deficient. Jesse Draxler's varied influences include heavy metal and electronic music, Zen literature, automotive machinery, background noise, and films. From 2015, Draxler cut out all color and started to work solely in black and white. As a colorblind person, he described his transition as "natural" and felt that it opened up his artistic vision rather than limiting it.
