Artistic work

Drawings

For Bo Christian Larsson, the creative process begins with drawing. The physical act of drawing plays a big role in this.

Although the large-scale drawings are independent works, Bo Christian Larsson referred to them as " blueprints for installations and performances. " So his installations are in 3D converted drawings, the performances have for him the significance of the characters act in itself, just with primarily audience.

Performances and installations

Almost all installations of Bo Christian Larsson arise from a performance. Constant companion in the performances is a black wig that covered his face, which she sees nothing and thus creates an artificial darkness that draws the eye inwards to the essentials.

In Larsson's performances often occur on the same protagonists, such as:

  • Sonuvabitch: the constant hunter, on the search for the inner verve.
  • Redeemer: the voice of minorities and a judge without a court.
  • The Worldhater: A disgusted miserable complainer.
  • Pentaman: the indistinguishable hermit.
  • Mr. Empire: the silent warrior and guardian of the human ideal.
  • The Poet: a perceptive soul and a proud bodyguard of the intellect.
  • The Shadow: so as the known Worried Man.

Objects

The objects usually develop in the course of performances and installations.
