Lasse Thorts's oeuvre is characterized by a colorful, expressionistic, and figurative style firmly rooted in the Nordic artistic tradition. Amidst the classical landscapes that form the backdrop of his work, Thorst's portrayed characters take center stage, but placed in these – for them – unfamiliar landscape scenarios, unfolding narratives that bridge the chasm between history and modernity. These characters are personal and freely painted but often inspired by old photos and somehow relate to the artist's surroundings.

The landscapes, skillfully rendered by the artist's hand, transcend the confines of temporal boundaries, exuding a timeless allure that echoes through the ages.

Thorst's distinctive fusion of "old" and "new" within his art challenges artistic conventions, blurring the lines between tradition and contemporary innovation. As a virtuoso who eschews traditional sketches, he embraces the audacious approach of abstract painters, experimenting directly on the canvas. Engaging in quick, wet-on-wet sessions with oil on canvas, each stroke becomes a vivid testament to the dynamism and raw authenticity of his artistic vision.

Lasse Thorst lives and works in Aalborg.
