Mark Larson's work is about the joy of painting. The result is a play on the mind and senses with a desire to please the eye. It’s about application, brush stroke, color transformation, form, balance through harmony and rhythm. A culmination of the visual; experiencing the joys of art through paint.

Imagery is appropriated from art history, photography and nature. Oil paint is the medium, applied to anything of interest which may alter one’s perception from the original: on canvas, furniture, bowls, logs, floor cloths and refrigerators.
 

Mark has had multiple collaborations over the years, notably with furniture designer Dan Cramer, a graduate from Cranbrook Academy.  cramerstudio.com/collaborations
