Open Book - original oil on canvas 101 x 83 cm
‘The garden is you.’- Voltaire
The print of the dress is loud, but the gesture is quiet - which is the tension the work rests on. She’s present, but somewhere else. Thinking, remembering, deciding. Maybe reading herself as much as the page.
It’s not about the book.
It’s about the inner world just beneath the surface - the one you only see when someone forgets they’re being watched.
Soft light. Bare knee. Hair falling like its own conversation.
A portrait of feminine interiority without the need to explain itself.
Collectors note:
Cinematic and psychological, it distills Larsen’s cool realism and modern mythos. A piece that continues to reveal itself over time, depending on the viewer’s own inner weather.
