Larry McLaughlin

Larry Mclaughlin’s work relies on observation. The artist seeks to understand nature and self by exploring the interplay between consciousness and imagination. By doing so, the artist tries to express something essential, and to capture this at its most forceful moment.
A highly versatile artist who works with monoprints as well as sculptures, Larry’s art carries a simplicity of form that reveals raw beauty through material. In his own words, Larry describes his desire to…
… juxtapose movement with stillness;
… transparency with solidity;
… occupy space but not to enclose it;
… use (my) forms to articulate space;
… create the surrounding;

When he works with sculptures, he first creates an armature upon which he pushes wet concrete. The process of creation is very personal; the concrete is a very live material in his hands as he applies the wet concrete in circular motions around the armature. His sculptures are a search for weightless materiality, where the pieces seemingly detach from the ground with no frame or boundaries. It challenges the viewer’s preconceived notions of concrete as an industrial material.

Larry McLaughlin’s Monoprints on Woodblock

Accomplished American artist Larry McLaughlin’s new series of animal monoprints are now available at the White Space Art Asia Paragon gallery. Instead of painting directly on paper, Larry’s technique involves painting on the metal plate of a traditional hand printing press and pressing the paper onto the ink. This allows the ink to run, creating an evocative chromatic effect that could not be accomplished with just painting on paper. Each print can only be done once, hence the term ‘monoprint’. The monoprint is then mounted on a hand painted wood block and sealed in resin.
