Works in collections

Works in Collections presents a selection of paintings held in private and corporate collections in Denmark and Europe.

The works are organised into series, reflecting different periods and themes within Jakob Ivan Larsen's artistic practice. Together they document the development of a visual language shaped by landscape, architecture, memory and human presence.

Forrest Scenes

Forest Scenes explores the atmosphere, memory and quiet presence found within wooded landscapes touched by man. Landscapes are formed by trees, lakes, cabins and the sky. Balancing abstraction and figuration, the series invites viewers into spaces between observation and imagination. Inspiration for this series is drawn from natural landscapes as well as heavily from movies and televison.
