Misophonia

Misophonia incorporates various mediums and styles from figurative painting and harsh typography to deliriously textural photography and collage. The book serves not only as a master collection of Draxler's work throughout his career to date, but also as a living organism, in which each piece communicates with the others, the whole, and itself.
A collection of imagery from the multidisciplinary artist Jesse Draxler's career, 2013- present.

The breadth of detail and craftsmanship in every splash of ink feels at once tailor-made only for underground eyes and completely necessary as a time capsule of this moment in DIY culture. -The Fader
As much as Draxler's process is influenced by Taoist ethics - in it being both spontaneous and eternal, natural and nameless - his work is equally charged by trauma and the blank spaces created by blocks in memory. These remembrance fissures lend Draxler's kaleidoscopic work a distinct sense of immediacy and agelessness mixing fractured pieces of both the man-made and natural world in an attempt to examine the inner-self from an infinite number of angles. -Konbini
Jesse Draxler brings an unexpected set of tools to the canvas: colorblindness and relentless self-questioning. Though most would see these aspects as a negative, Jesse uses them to balance out his work. His colorblindness gives him an angle on color that the rest of us lack. This self-questioning serves as Jesse's 'counsel, ' or a second inner voice constantly interrogating the ways his work could improve. -Convicts
