About the Item

A very cool hand carved teak greyhound sculpture on maple base by Peter Larsen, circa 1980s. The piece is in very good condition with no chips or cracks, is signed on the base and measures 5.5 W x 5.5" D x 13.5" H. A very nice piece! #2550 Peter Larsen is a self taught artist and poet who lives in Lake View Terrace, CA. He says: "I was lucky enough to have the skill to execute the designs in wood—and handicapped by having no formal training in art, which meant that I stuck with wood and never made a serious attempt to look into casting my designs. I sacrificed actually being able to make a living– for making what I wanted to make, one-of-a-kind pieces that I sold cheaply. I designed at first from photographs of animals and then from my own idea of what poses their bodies might be able to take. I was always aware that no frozen image can replicate what squirrels, otters, and cats are really like, and so I was not sad when I needed to stop and find an actual job. I enjoyed making sensuous designs, sometimes of people but mostly of animals, particularly ones that would fit on a 2”x 4” piece of walnut, oak, cocobolo, or other hardwood. After twenty-one years of sawing, chiseling, grinding, scraping, sanding, and oiling, I needed to stop and find an actual job so that Nicki and I could retire. I finished my last sculpture in 1999.”.
