Juxtapoz Magazine Interview "I am obsessed with household textures and objects—furniture, blankets, towels, bath mats, rugs, socks, etc. I add layers and layers of latex paint onto soft objects that soak it in and fossilize into solid forms." "Colors choices are usually based on the context of what is around and trying to create the most contrast and visual force possible." "I prefer words like provocative and precarious, psychological, nauseating, inundating, confrontational, luscious, alive, awkward, rhythmic as well as more direct thematic words like feminine, domestic, material culture, home, interiority, etc. I kind of hate when the work is reduced to the formal and abstract, which are present but not prevailing. One of my favorite comments recently was when someone said that the work is “mischievous." www.eskekath.dk
"In strictly formal terms, Eske Kath’s work is a skillful and restrained integration of traditional Japanese landscape iconography and the flattened perspectives of the Suprematists and Fauvists. His paintings are easily recognized by the outlined segments of raw linen contrasted by the deeply saturated, opaque shapes and geometric figures that are often shown amid mountains, waves and Henri Rousseau-esque jungles. These objects are not at rest. Every cube, cone and house, despite the lack of the traditional perspective, appears to be in motion. In some compositions they are carried by powerful currents towards and away from the viewer or appear deposited in trees and forests as if by a great destructive force." By Kristina Nazarevskaia.
