Paul Larson’s
cubist influenced compositions are based upon the use of multifaceted geometric
forms, the illusion of overlapping and intersecting planes, improbable
perspectives, and subtle transitions of tonal passages that invariably tease the
eye. His images most often depict the highly stylized solitary figure, usually
set within a similarly stylized landscape. He describes his work as “an
exploration into alternate views of the world never seen before” and as “a
personal process of bringing what is hidden to light, and revealing what is
unknown or forgotten to awareness.”
Studying with Charles Peterson (AWS), William Gerhold, and Thomas
Higgins, he graduated with degrees in Fine Art and Education from Marietta
College in 1973. From 1975 until 1985 Paul worked as an artist, designer, and
project director for the design firm L. E. Carpenter & Company in Milford,
CT.
In 1986 Paul began a successful career in Greenwich real estate
sales and new home construction. During these years Paul’s passion for art
remained strong and he continued painting whenever time would allow. In 2009 he
returned to his work as a serious painter with renewed
dedication.
A current member of the Greenwich Art Society, the Loft Artists
Association in Stamford, CT, and Art/Place Gallery in Fairfield, CT he has
exhibited regularly since 1975. His paintings in oil, pastel, and acrylic have
been recognized with many awards, and his artwork has been acquired by numerous
collectors both in the U.S. and abroad.
Paul explains his work as a process of finding what has been lost,
bringing the obscure to awareness, and recollection of that which has been
forgotten. With the intention of exploring the mystery of personally perceived
realities, and to report what is found to others, his hope is that the viewers
of his work may find something familiar to their world as well; perhaps
providing an insight, evoking a memory long forgotten, or eliciting an emotion
somehow familiar, and perhaps long unfelt. pglarson.com
