Silver Linings - Danny Larsen - RedHouse Originals

New paintings by Norwegian sensation set to go on display alongside Modern Masters Picasso, Chagall and Matisse.

Danny Larsen returns to the UK following his recent participation in prestigious exhibitions at the National Museum in Oslo and the Nordic Museum in Seattle. His new collection Silver Linings features twenty watercolour created paintings whilst recovering from broken ribs following a bike accident.

Larsen:

“Earlier this year I crashed on my bike, landed on my back on a rock and broke my ribs. Due to pain of just raising my arm I was unable to paint for months. I was encouraged by my doctor to stay active to avoid further complications, so I went for walks supported by a generous amount of painkillers. As I went on my slow strolls, trying to keep my mind from focusing on what was wrong, I started noticing the amazing life happening by the side of the road. All the beautiful and colourful flowers, that I would usually hurry by. Suddenly I started seeing an enormous beauty in the rather unfortunate circumstances. And because I had to slow down I gained so much more. Eventually I managed to sit down with my watercolour block on my lap, as I tucked my knees up, and I managed to fill the whole block with these silver linings.”

The new artworks will be complemented by a works by a host of exciting modern and contemporary artists. Highlights include rare original prints by Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall and Henri Matisse alongside new work by Schoph, Balbinder Broadbent and Christopher Kelly.
