UPWARD WATERFALLS - Limited Edition of 3 Print

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.
