Harris’ work drifts between abstraction and figuration. Charged with a quiet emotional intensity, his painting, prints and drawings are often motivated by personal memories and of psychological states. Sometimes humorous or disturbing, they address a range of universal concerns relating to human experience: life, death, fear, doubt , spirituality and sexuality. This survey exhibition includes more than 70 works and looks at the development of Harris’ unique vision over a career of more than twenty years.
