Brock Larson

Born 1991 in Maple, Wisconsin

Brock Larson was raised in northern Wisconsin, and was fortunate enough to be exposed to fine art since he was old enough to hold a pencil. Brock had the great experience of being able to observe his father Jeffrey T. Larson as well as his grandfather Marvin Espe paint from life. He was able to watch and work alongside them, receiving lessons and inspiration that fueled his passion and honed his skill at creating paintings and drawings.

Larson has spent five years of time intensive training, studying the practice of oil painting and drawing from life at The Atelier Studio of Fine Art, Minneapolis, MN. The Atelier system is drawn from The French Academic program of apprenticeship training. It’s roots go back to the teaching methods of the old masters dating back as early as the 1500’s. The program takes on a select few students each year and gives them hands on guidance, allowing them to grow as painters and draftsman through their rigorous 4 to 5 year program. In 2016 Larson co-founded the Great Lakes Academy of Fine Arts in Duluth, MN with his father, Jeffrey T. Larson.

Brock Larson continues to explore the visual world in paint. Searching the infinite information we see everyday with the goal of capturing the beauty of life on canvas. He currently lives and works in Duluth, MN
