Steen Larsen – Milestone
April 12 – May 24
Opening reception: Saturday, April 12, 2–4 PM
The opening speech will take place at 2:15 PM, during which Steen Larsen will also speak about his art.
The exhibition Milestone marks a significant point in Steen Larsen’s artistic journey and his unique approach to capturing moments, places, and moods. The title refers both to the artist’s personal development and to the visual landmarks he creates in his work.
Rainscapes
The exhibition is divided into two themes, both showcasing oil paintings. In the Rainscapes theme, the motifs are rainy scenes viewed through a car windshield, where the rain becomes more than a meteorological event—it acts as a medium for expressing a mood that borders on the dreamlike. The paintings depict the play of light through raindrops on glass, offering a reinterpretation of a simple view that becomes almost abstract.
Junkyard
In the Junkyards theme, the motifs are raw yet aesthetic depictions from a car graveyard in Båstnäs, Sweden, where abandoned car wrecks are slowly being reclaimed by nature and forest. With the lush greenery as a backdrop, Larsen captures the quiet beauty of decay. The works carry a powerful, almost melancholic energy, reflecting perhaps on humanity’s relationship with the things we leave behind. Here, what might be considered scrap is transformed into a reminder of the beauty in the transient and the vanishing.
Throughout Milestone, Steen Larsen creates a dialogue between the passage of time, the forces of nature, and the traces of human presence. His works invite the viewer to reflect on the inevitable decay and the fleeting moments that hold a unique beauty.
