Title: Cyclist Solitude
Artist: Paul Larson
Medium: Acrylic
Size: 11×14 inches
Artist statement: I’ve been inspired by woodcut art from long ago. There is so much to see in limited colors; and what I paint comes from not looking at anything that I actually see, but is more subconscious in origin. My style is what I’d call Abstract Realism.
I took up road cycling in 2017 and have become an addict, to say the least. This piece is called “Cyclist Solitude.” It’s based upon one of the many sections of road I ride in the glorious mountains of Utah. I’ve ridden over 110,000 miles since 2017, 98% of those miles being solitary. It’s a great place to think and push yourself mentally and physically, while out on the road.
I look forward to doing more of my cycling related art.
