Darkstar Transmissions - by Larry Carlson (2006)

Larry Carlson is a groundbreaking visionary multi media artist. His work spans a variety of forms including photography, video-art, web-art, collage painting, digital art, animation, text-art, and sound art. He is a modern day renaissance man who has changed the way art is perceived in our world today with revolutionary work that is insanely mind blowing and pushes the possibilities for consciousness exploration within contemporary art.

Larry Carlson’s greatest strength is in artfully depicting the mystical dimensions of consciousness, coaxing us into sweet spiritualized epiphanies one moment then plunging us into completely bizarre surreal frenzies the next. Few artists can rival him in terms of innovation, vision, talent, high-yield experimentation. and courage to peer in to the unknown. Carlson’s artwork gives us a kind of disjointed representation of the slippery nature of the unconscious mind driven to surreal Dionysian extremes. His artwork fuses together aspects of mysticism, surrealism, psychedelia, pop, naturalism and the technological, resulting in sublime juxtapositions that can totally bend one’s perception.
