A new book from poly-dimensional artist, Jesse Draxler.
Provoking the specter of desire itself, The World Is Mine & I’m Thinking About You brings us into the perspective of one of today’s most compelling artists and creators.
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.
Draxler’s second major publication with Sacred Bones is a snapshot of an artist at a high, while tirelessly chasing after the next.
“In a world of decay, Jesse Draxler shows us what is being born. We may love or fear it but we cannot resist it. With virtuosity, purpose, power, and x-ray eyes, Jesse is producing the premonitory visual account of our joint future. It is drop-dead brilliant. Let his vision stare into you.” — Mitch Horowitz, PEN Award-winning author of Occult America and Uncertain Places
“Dark and liminal layered dreams and all manner of everyday mythical themes. Glory in the chaos.. another wondrous offering from visual magician Jesse Draxler." — Chelsea Wolfe, Musician
"Draxler has created a book that acts as a roadmap to the journey his eye has been on, collecting visuals that ask what’s next. The World is Mine & I’m Thinking About You carries Draxler’s distinct, stark aesthetic that he’s formed through years of careful visual curation and discernment. Through striking contrasts of black and white and negative and positive space, he lets us into a world that’s so consistent yet questioning."- White Hot Magazine
"Having worked with Alexander McQueen, Prince, Ferrari, and many more, in his new monograph Jesse Draxler places his signature violent, visceral and brutal aesthetics side by side with a comprehensive presentation of his studio practice, delivering an enduring exhibition with flesh and bones, with a fuller context."- Musee Magazine
