Luminous Land

 

Jonathon Larsen’s linocuts glow with brilliant light tempered by the darkest blacks. The work is inspired by decades of road trips across Australia. I have often found myself back at the same viewing point only to slowly realize that I had stood on that exact spot before. Linocuts force the artist to work with simplicity, the marks seem to take a symbolic nature. My interest in landscape is often more about the cultural overlay of the human presence. The ideas have accumulated with long term avoidance of a focus on landscape in my art practice. There are probably many more images to come.
