Caroline Larsen continues to advance the technique of making her oil paintings look like tapestries. In a previous post (March, 2013 here), she focused on fire. Now, her woven paint subject is a Desert Garden (above). Below: Garden Mound.

Larsen is on exhibit through April 4 at The Last Brucennial in New York, one in a series of high-profile shows scheduled in the months ahead. The Toronto-based artist is working on her MFA at the Pratt Institute. More information on the previous Art Junkie post, here.

Absolutely agree. When I saw her previous work for the first time, that was my impression also. It’s a niche she’s currently occupying solo, and doing so well with.

Yes, absolutely amazing, especially as she continues to perfect it. She uses a bag with a serrated tip to extrude the paint, which she weaves over itself as she paints.
