His layers of imagery evoke memories of childhood, with the possible disturbance and trauma written between the lines. Family is the repetitive theme in Elling\u2019s works; familiar moments infiltrated by surprising or unpleasant elements. The formalistic aspect of Lars Elling\u2019s paintings is characterized by the erased and the broken. The pure visual expression has a meaningful function, where story and poetry are strong fundamentals. The paintings can be seen as a burst of memory, a description of a moment, where the almost experienced or almost seen is presented in a dreamlike and poetic expression, which can be compared to the poetic expressions in the works of Francis Bacon. Also like Bacon, Elling\u2019s works also portray a description of the logic of feelings, and illustrate a beginning, a middle section, and an end, however not in that order.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>{via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/createmagazine\/\">Create Magazine&#8217;s Instagram<\/a>}<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nightmares?
