A choice of work from Portland-based artist Chris Lael Larson. Working within the overlap of portray, pictures, and assemblage, Larson goals to create new perceptual experiences inside the subject material of the “on a regular basis absurd.” That’s, the unusual, curious, and confounding methods we join to one another–the issues we devour and the environments we inhabit. Larson is impressed by up to date artists like Aimeé Beaubien and Lucas Blalock whose hybridized approaches blur the boundaries between pictures and different mediums.
In his work, Larson constructs short-term altar-like installations using discovered objects, reclaimed supplies, pure components, cheaply printed pictures, and paint to intensify their latent qualities and reframe their that means. Typically, the set up is the ultimate piece, and typically, the ultimate piece is a mix of work and large-format pictures of his constructions utilizing a hyperreal lighting approach.
