Troels Wörsel's (Aarhus, Denmark, 1950 - Cologne, Germany 2018) approach to art stemmed from a fundamental interest in the painting and its devices, its history, function and formal characteristics. Troels Wörsel created a highly media investigative and semiotic artwork, where he submitted the painting to a range of investigations of its semantic potentials. He drew upon inspiration from numerous places in the art history, but in a way where no particular 'ism' or direction became the driving force.

Troels Wörsel_Woodcuts (A los pies de los caballos)
...It has therefore been very satisfying to work on these prints. The work has for me been purely artistic and purely concerned with the means of achieving effects that exploit some of the possibilities of the medium. But the outcome is images, and as such they mean something. So a few words on why they interest me: There are a couple of what I call Horse Frames: the legs of a horse and its belly forming a frame around something – here simply visual space, quantified by a curved tartan grid (think of space as consisting of discrete parts). There is the two-part piece Alpe – Mare which is about how one work generates another. And there is the large horse print. In the last couple of years I have been interested in the relation between painting and perception, and in what you actually perceive when you paint. However, the print has been done from a painting dealing with these problems. And that’s the point. For I noticed that the painting seen purely in black and white, with its abrupt changes between what seems like positive and negative areas, was painted in a way resembling a woodcut. The woodcut was then a way to show the form of the visual experience.
