FROM FINE ART TO NEW TECHNOLOGY
For more than a decade, Michelle Larsen’s dimensional paintings have been recognized for blurring the boundary between painting and sculpture.
Today, that same sculptural quality is creating an entirely new opportunity.
Through digital capture and 3D fabrication, an original hand-sculpted painting can potentially be translated into a dramatically larger dimensional installation—bringing the character of the artist’s hand into museums, architecture, hospitality, public spaces and immersive environments.
The technology may be new. The art begins by hand.
ABOUT MICHELLE LARSEN
Michelle Larsen is a contemporary dimensional artist known for developing her distinctive process of sculpting paper into relief and completing the hardened sculptural surface in oil.
Her work combines the expressive qualities of painting with the physical presence of sculpture, creating compositions that extend dramatically from their support.
Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and recognized through awards, publications and media features. Today, Michelle Larsen Studios is expanding the possibilities of her original dimensional art through museum installations, commissions and scalable 3D applications.
