In a Q&A with Larry Armstrong, an Internet Marketing Association Board Advisor and artist, Armstrong discusses his art, characterized by its exploration of layers and their multifaceted meanings. With a background as an architect and chairman of an architecture firm, Armstrong explains how his architectural experience enriches his artistic practice, allowing him to dedicate more time to his passion for art. His works, which span various media such as paper, metal, acrylic paint, and digital art, consistently emphasize the concept of layers, reflecting on themes of time, place, mood, and ambiance.
Armstrong describes his fascination with the tension between opposing forces—nature versus urbanization, chaos versus order, spontaneity versus precision—and how these themes influence his work. He also speaks about his “renaissance approach to life,” inspired by Leonardo da Vinci, which combines creativity with technical and pragmatic skills. Currently, Armstrong is working on a series called FLRs, which involves mixed media pieces derived from his studio floor’s vignettes. He also mentions his forthcoming book, “Layered Leadership,” set for release in early 2025, and his plans to exhibit his art internationally.
