In ‘Beautiful Decay’, Shann Larsson focuses on both the natural and the artificial world that are in the process of decay. Shann’s painting style is quite expressive, in both colour and technique whereby she attempts to pull the viewer into the pulse of her paintings. Unlike her previous work, Shann has broadened her range in colour and enhanced the realism of her subject matter for this show to mimic the little details she finds beautiful in all things lifeless. From the fragility and browning of a withered flower to the flaking roughness of a rusty machine, she finds the little traces of decay creating a sense of nostalgia and structural curiosity, but also understands a new colourful vibrancy and beauty.
