This is a selection of works by Portland-based artist Chris Lael Larson. Larson’s work blends painting, photography, and collage to create new perceptual experiences through the theme of “everyday absurdity.” That is, the strange, curious, and confusing ways we relate to each other—the things we consume and the environments we inhabit. Larson is inspired by contemporary artists such as Aimeé Beaubien and Lucas Blalock, whose hybrid approaches blur the lines between photography and other mediums. In his work, Larsen constructs temporary altar-like installations from found objects, recycled materials, natural elements, cheaply printed photographs, and paint to highlight their latent qualities…

s story The Cursed Artist It is often used to inject mystery and intrigue into the lives of great painters, the tortured souls who worked all day for a pittance, their fingers splattered to the bone, and eked out a living on a mind-destroying diet of absinthe and stale bread.
