Lars Kristian Hansen - information
In his paintings you find expressive energy.He is a painter who has a lot to tell, and who masters many ways of expressing his message.
Like a troubadour with a paint brush Lars swings from being lively and humoristic, raw and graphic, to being poetical and colourful.He won the public favourite talent award at the biggest art fair in Denmark, Artville Copenhagen 2006, Tuborg Harbour. The paintings are building up in many layers of paint with a rustic character.He mainly works in acrylics and supplements this with charcoal-, chalk-, lack-, spray- and collage effects.
The big paintings often have titles - not to explain the paintings, they are meant more like an extra layer – a riddle – a hint.
Sometimes they are pure statements, other times they spring from an association with a link to poetry, narratives or music, which have been present at a certain time during the process of painting the particular painting.
Lars Kristian Hansen has over the years participated in several solo exhibitions and major art fairs , among others ART COPENHAGEN in the Forum 2008 and received the public price of ARTVILLE COPENHAGEN 2006.
