Charming mixed media painting by listed Danish artist Erik Larsen. Expressive painting of a galloping circus horse with a circus acrobat balancing on its back. Loose energetic brushwork and moody tones. The abstracted background and bold contrasts gives the piece a lively atmosphere. Great balance of playfulness and sophistication. Striking in person!
