Organic Interludes Dan Larsen - Organic Interludes Dan Larsen March 10, 2010 - April 11, 2010 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.    Dan Larsen is a Northwest native descended from a long line of fine artists and craftsmen with his family's local roots tracing back to the time when tall ships explored the far reaches of Puget Sound. Larsen has been expressing his artistic gifts in all types of art media since he was a small child. A graduate of Washington State University, he earned degrees in Construction Management and Business Administration with a minor in Industrial Design.   While he has been involved in construction for the last 30 years, Larsen's passion for the art process has been a continuing exploration into any new potential industrial medium.  In recent years, he has increasingly focused on developing his own unique art form using a variety of industrial materials.  The current paintings are created utilizing an industrial resin formulated to include microscopic heat treated glass flakes, which give the paintings extra depth and durability. The artist's current paintings have an emotional power and raw primal organic appeal. Larsen's work jolts the senses with an intensely detailed explosion of infinite shapes and riotous color. Each work emanates its own unique upbeat mood and personality, imparting the sensation of playful emotion being conveyed directly and not merely being seen with the eyes. One art enthusiast was heard to exclaim, "These paintings make Jackson Pollock look tired."   However, when seeing one of his paintings for the first time, most viewers are compelled to simply blurt out "Wow!"     Untitled 1 57 x 7 x 2.5 Inches  Modified Synthetic Oil Resin on Aluminum  Sold Dream State No. 1 62 x 15 x 2 Inches  Modified Synthetic Oil Resin on Aluminum $ 3000 US Random Holes 44 x 37 x 2 Inches  Modified Synthetic Oil Resin on Aluminum $ 4750 US Dream State No. 2 62 x 15 x 2 Inches  Modified Synthetic Oil Resin on Aluminum  Sold Memories of a Chocolate Sunday 36.5 x 20 x 2 Inches  Modified Synthetic Oil Resin on Aluminum $ 2350 US Bejeweled 44 x 24 x 2 Inches  Modified Synthetic Oil Resin on Aluminum $ 3400 US Peaceful Interlude II 72 x 16 x 2 Inches  Modified Synthetic Oil Resin on Aluminum $ 3600 US Buried Jewels in the Shifting Sands 26 x 64 x 2.5 Inches  Modified Synthetic Oil Resin on Aluminum $ 4800 US Stretching the Limits 69.5 x 44 x 2.5 Inches  Modified Synthetic Oil Resin on Aluminum $ 8800 US Swift Current 44 x 37 x 2 Inches  Modified Synthetic Oil Resin on Aluminum $ 4750 US Brown Derby 72 x 16 x 2 Inches  Modified Synthetic Oil Resin on Aluminum $ 3600 US Peaceful Interlude I (Hyatt Regency Club) 72 x 16 x 2 Inches  Modified Synthetic Oil Resin on Aluminum $ 3600 US A Clear Brook II 56 x 4.5 Inches  Modified Synthetic Oil Resin on Aluminum  Sold Green Two 57 x 7 x 2.5 Inches  Modified Synthetic Oil Resin on Aluminum  Sold Untitled 2 57 x 7 x 2.5 Inches  Modified Synthetic Oil Resin on Aluminum  Sold Organic Liquid 96 x 25 x 3.5 Inches  Modified Synthetic Oil Resin on Aluminum  Sold Cosmic Explosion 27 x 72 x 2 Inches  Modified Synthetic Oil Resin on Aluminum  Sold A Relaxing Stroll along the Beach 77 x 57.5 x 2.5 Inches  Modified Synthetic Oil Resin on Aluminum  Sold Shifting Sands No. 1 46 x 13 x 2 Inches  Modified Synthetic Oil Resin on Aluminum  Sold Well Worn Path through the Garden 80 x 33 x 2.5 Inches  Modified Synthetic Oil Resin on Aluminum  Sold Shifting Sands No. 3 46 x 13 x 2 Inches  Modified Synthetic Oil Resin on Aluminum  Sold Dragon Sun 52 x 14.5 x 2 Inches  Modified Synthetic Oil Resin on Aluminum  Sold Dreaming Allowed 44 x 37 x 2 Inches  Modified Synthetic Oil Resin on Aluminum  Sold Shifting Sands No. 2 46 x 13 x 2 Inches  Modified Synthetic Oil Resin on Aluminum  Sold Shifting Sands No. 5 46 x 13 x 2 Inches  Modified Synthetic Oil Resin on Aluminum  Sold Don't Take it for Granite 57 x 7 x 2.5 Inches  Modified Synthetic Oil Resin on Aluminum  Sold Notice: All artwork is the copyright of the respective artists and may not be reproduced without their written permission.
