In Space Collective, Peer René Larsen delivers an emotionally resonant and visually commanding canvas that spans 90x120x4cm. Using oil, acrylic, and graphite stick, he creates a work that transcends traditional abstraction—becoming a living force of color, energy, and introspective emotion. The result is not just a painting, but an immersive experience that reaches into the viewer’s emotional core.
An Emotional Language of Joy and Energy
Psychologist Henning Bøtkjær observes that Peer René’s work strikes the viewer on a deeper emotional layer—activating joy, energizing the mind, and radiating positivity. Space Collective achieves this through its composition, form, and sincerity embedded in every stroke. The painting feels alive, its energy extending beyond the canvas and into the room.
This emotional resonance is intentional. Larsen’s works are crafted to shift the viewer’s internal state. Through his intuitive process, he channels something deeply human—an emotional memory, a quiet longing, a flicker of recognition. The result is not merely visual; it is transformational.
A Mirror of the Self
Peer René Larsen often describes his paintings as his double—external embodiments of his internal world. His painting process is not driven by theory or design, but by an instinctive need to express what cannot be said in words. Though he works with traditional tools—brushes, paints, and graphite—his technique is deeply intuitive and emotionally honest.
Titles such as Space Collective arise from the emotional undercurrent of the painting process. They are abstract, personal, and poetic, offering an open invitation to the viewer to sense rather than define. The story behind each piece is felt, not explained.
The Space Between Form and Feeling
Till Bögelsack of IN THE NET describes Peer René’s work as a journey into the core of who we wish to become. Space Collective is just that—a journey. Its layered pigments and expressive lines form a dynamic visual rhythm that pulses with silent music, echoing the viewer’s inner emotional tempo.
The surface offers no immediate narrative, and yet, the longer one looks, the more one feels. There is movement, resistance, harmony, and discord—a range of sensations that suggest a deeper dialogue taking place within the painting itself. Larsen invites us to meet the work halfway and discover our own reflection inside it.
A Practice Rooted in Intuition
Larsen approaches each canvas without a fixed plan. Instead, he starts with an inner sensation—a creative pressure that needs form. From there, the piece unfolds layer by layer, guided by instinct, emotion, and responsiveness to the emerging composition.
His visions remain intact, and his expectations of himself are carried by a continuous desire to test and stretch his ideas. This drive gives his work its tension and freshness. Larsen avoids repetition. He listens inwardly, and that personal compass determines the course of each painting.
A Lifelong Commitment to the Canvas
Having worked on canvas for many years, Peer René Larsen knows that talent and dedication alone are not always enough to earn recognition in the art world. Still, he has remained steadfast in his artistic journey. Over time, he has preserved a private collection of works—pieces he intends to showcase together in a future exhibition.
This act of preservation is more than foresight; it is a quiet testament to his belief in the long arc of artistic value. These works are waiting for the right moment, and when that moment arrives, they will speak as a collective body of vision, labor, and emotional depth.
A Timeless Encounter
Space Collective is not an object to be consumed but an encounter to be experienced. It does not dictate meaning; it invites exploration. It holds space for quiet reflection and gentle transformation, engaging the viewer without force.
In a world driven by speed and distraction, Larsen’s work offers an alternative—stillness, subtlety, and sustained attention. Space Collective is not loud, but it is powerful. It is not literal, but it is deeply true.
A Living Legacy in Paint
Peer René Larsen is not merely making paintings—he is constructing emotional environments. Through abstraction, he invites connection. Through instinct, he finds structure. And through every completed canvas, he offers a human presence—raw, vibrant, and resonant.
With Space Collective, Larsen affirms his role as an artist who does not simply represent the world, but expands it.
