About the artist
Opera vincitrice della sezione Pittura, Premio Combat 2012. Bo Christian Larsson (nato nel 1976 a Kristinehamn, Svezia) vive e lavora tra Älvkarhed, Svezia, e Berlino, Germania. La pratica ad ampio raggio di Larsson incorpora una varietà di media, tra cui video, disegno, scultura, pittura, installazione e performance, che usa in modo intercambiabile e spesso contemporaneamente. Interessato ai simboli, alle convenzioni sociali e ai rituali, e a come ci affidiamo ad essi per dare un senso al mondo che ci circonda, Larsson distorce spesso oggetti trovati e quotidiani - da valigie e piume, a libri e orologi - per creare associazioni alternative, spesso ambigue, che sfidano il nostro desiderio umano di ordine, identificazione e comprensione.
Winning artwork Painting section Combat Prize 2012. Bo Christian Larsson (b. 1976 in Kristinehamn, Sweden) lives and works in Älvkarhed, Sweden, and Berlin, Germany. Larsson’s wide-ranging practice incorporates a variety of media, including video, drawing, sculpture, painting, installation, and performance, which he uses interchangeably and often simultaneously. Interested in symbols, social conventions, and rituals, and how we rely on them to make sense of the world around us, Larsson frequently distorts found and everyday objects – from suitcases and feathers to books and clocks – to create alternative, often ambiguous, associations that challenge our human desire for order, identification, and understanding.
