Caroline Larsen Combines Two Distinct Forms of Portraiture

The new gallery by Caroline Larsen is called P.A.N.A.M.A. R.E.N.A. and depicts several large ocean liners that the artist has come across throughout her travels. The bright, solid colors, combined with the representation of patterned material, creates an image that illustrates a combination of between artistic influences while retaining an authentic composition. Fluctuating between intensity and tranquility, these paintings by Caroline Larsen allude to tragic or tense situations while maintaining a grounded, unimposing sense of comfort.
