Larry Carlson is a visionary multi media artist. Working with computers he creates artwork that is completely mind blowing. His work spans a variety of forms including web-art, video-art, digital art, animation, text-art, sound art, photography, and collage painting. He is best known for his work in online web-art, in which he created several sites which feature his mind boggling movies.
G4Tech TV called him “The Salvador Dali of the Next Century”, and High Times magazine labeled him an “artistic mastermind. Through his art, he presents us with the mystical dimensions of consciousness, coaxing us into sweet spiritualized epiphanies one moment then plunging us into completely bizarre surreal frenzies the next.

In the tradition of surrealists like Miró and Magritte, Carlson at his best gives us a kind of disjointed representation of the slippery nature of the unconscious mind, driven to Dionysian extremes. Carlson’s work fuses together aspects of the occult and mysticism with surrealism , psychedelic with pop and kitsch, and naturalism with the technological, resulting in sublime juxtapositions that totally bend one’s perception.
Internationally recognized as one of the most original digital artists in the world today, his web sites have always been at the vanguard of taking the internet to the next level. A pioneer in multimedia experimental web-art, he first started exhibiting his artwork online in 1997. In 2000 Carlson published the legendary web sites Virtual OM and Larrycarlson.com which featured his original full screen psychotropic entertainment for the online masses around the world. For the past five years Yahoo! directory has ranked Larry Carlson as the number one computer artist in the world. International newspapers like London’s Guardian, Montreal’s Mirror, and Istanbul’s Vatan News have done features on his awe-inspiring artwork. His work has also been featured in US weekly, High Times, Vice, Juxtapoz, NY Arts and Lucky magazines.
Larry Carlson has exhibited his artwork in the U.S., Brazil, Sweden, France, and Germany. The Museum of Modern Art in New York exhibited some of his collage art books in the show Book/Shelf, and his movies were shown at Alex Grey’s COSM gallery. In 2008, Portland, Oregon’s KBOO 90.7 fm hosted two Larry Carlson music specials featuring his surreal soundtracks.
