Asger Dybvad Larsen Denmark, b. 1990

Asger Dybvad Larsen works mainly on the physical aspect of painting and transforms it from its traditional use as a medium. His practice revolves around composing and constructing new contexts: original works are cut, sewn together, and repainted, ultimately becoming something entirely new. His paintings are highly tactile and marked by a dialectical engagement with the history of the medium, particularly questioning its classical uses. Larsen’s work maintains an ongoing dialogue with art history, drawing especially from postwar minimalist and conceptual approaches. Characterized by the use of geometric forms—created by progressively sewing together cut sections of canvas—his practice places emphasis on process over individual gesture. These formal strategies reflect a conscious shift away from personal expression and authorship, toward a self-referential form that exists independently of narrative or external meaning. In Larsen’s work, the tension between order and chance, repetition and variation, becomes a framework for rethinking painting itself. His method remains deliberately open, embracing a state of continual transformation and exchange.
