Artist Profile

Mark Harris

Mark Harris’ current work deals with ideas of defense and offense. His most recent series, A Continuous Defense, is a group of small collages and paintings that depict landscapes and seascapes crossed by alien-looking architectural structures that take over buildings, trees and boats.

Although small in scale, the works are epic in subject, suggesting possible visions of the future or alternative histories.

Harris takes found images, often vintage black & white photographs, or images taken from books; sometimes photographs of old paintings, and draws or paints onto them over the existing image, creating a whole new dimension to the work.
