Patricia Larsen
River Crossing Rivers
In "River Crossing Rivers," Patricia Larsen once again proves why she's a force to be reckoned with in the contemporary art scene. This 24 x 24 x 1.5 inch canvas is a testament to Larsen's mastery of texture and abstraction.Larsen employs her signature mix of plaster and pigment on panel, creating a work that is at once tactile and ethereal. The layered application of these materials results in a surface that begs to be touched, yet maintains a certain visual depth that keeps the viewer's eye engaged from a distance.Many who experience a painting of Patricia Larsen think it’s the work of a Zen monk, someone who’s mastered the elements of purity - but it’s Larsen’s memories of playing in Albertan prairie fields that melt into her images.
