Works in Jan’s Colorfields are richly-saturated abstract-expressions that characterize his emotional response to events going on around him in the contemporary world, and works in his Pixelated Fabric series reflect on the role that social media played in the result of the 2016 US election. Golden is a meditation on three things: (1) the ‘golden mean,’ an ancient Greek philosophical belief in a desirable middle or ‘golden middle way’ between two extremes, (2) the ‘golden ratio,’ which is a mathematical equation observed to be expressed in biological symmetries of forms like the whorl of new shoots emerging from a young plant, the seed patterns of a sunflower, and the chambers of a nautilus shell, and (3) the ‘Golden Rule,’ a universally-endorsed ethic of, in the Christian culture the artist was raised around, ‘doing unto others as you would have them do unto you.’ Taken together, these three notions, and the work as intended by association, speak to the clear existence of universal symmetries in our realities, the first two rotating smoothly about a central point, and the third speaking to the artist’s belief that we are each shepherds of goodness, gentleness, truth, justice, fairness, righteousness, and ‘light’ in the world, and that it is our responsibility (in Jan’s words, our ‘job’) to help bring stability, propserity, mutual respect, honor, fairness, peace, balance, and beauty into our world, one step at a time, even amid and out of periods of social disruption, chaos, and struggle. To achieve, in Jan’s words, “a full-flowering of the very best in humanity.” Like the other square colorfield prints in the Pixelated Fabric series, this work is brightest toward the center and darkest toward the edges, expressing Jan’s opinion that social progress is best pursued through paths of moderation, toward the center of the political spectrum, and steering clear of the extremes of left, right, and radicalized political rhetoric.

One of the most operationally-interesting, entertaining, exciting voices in contemporary art, American Neo-Pop artist Jan Larsen’s body of multimedia work reflects the tenor of our times. Born in the American Midwest in the ‘Summer of Love’ of 1967, Jan began his schooling as part of a cultural-integration program at a predominantly African-American school in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and proceeded through the American public school system to earn his undergraduate degree from Harvard University, and a Master’s degree in business management from Oxford University in England. In 1997, Jan moved to New York City to complete what he calls “an inquiry into the character, history, and living, breathing, Beuys-style experiential-sculpture of the professional practice of fine art.” Starting-up and building four galleries under his name in New York from 2000 to 2015, representing scores of artists, producing hundreds of exhibitions, and loaning works in partnership with the US State Department as part of its Art In Embassies programme, Larsen built Jan Larsen Art into a global fine art practice. He educated himself in art history and learned the tools-of-the-trade of fine art, while refining his own approach – to contemporary culture and to market. Launching his solo career in 2015, Jan’s work speaks to his American experience, responds to world events, and reflects on the quality of our contemporary moments, world-wide. In 2019, he began setting up his new home-base and production studios for Asia in Singapore, and he is delighted to present and be joined in his work by collectors, artists, and for-profit, charitable, and governmental institutional partners in the US, Europe, Africa, and Asia.
