THE WORKS
Lately, I have started to break out of the square.
Well, not really.
Everything I do is still based on the square, but I am putting a lot more of them together. A whole lot. That, in addition to Coney Island images, and intense collage, are the biggest changes in my work lately.
The collage work has turned out to be the most fun and interesting aspect for me. I layer in images of Chinese, Chinese-Guyanese, Indo-Chinese, and Chino-Latino take-out menus, graffiti, bus maps, Russian movie posters, street art, Pakistani kebob carts, subway timetables, "No Parking" signs, Goya packaging, manhole covers, Mr. Softee trucks, Geovanny Polanco concert posters, Burmese, Arabic, and Bulgarian newspapers, and of course, glatt kosher Bukharan restaurant sandwich boards.
These multi-panel works are offered exclusively at Jan Larsen Art, in the DUMBO
district of Brooklyn, NYC. Contact JLA by email at janlarsenart at earthlink dot net
or ring (718) 797-2557 for directions and an
appointment to view the work.
