“Inspired by the artist Henrietta Harris. Harris’ works focus on very detailed, carefully composed oil paintings (mostly portraits) which she then interrupts with a fantastical element of some sort. Whether that’s mirroring the face, covering it in a pink smear or painting wavy lines through the face as I have mimicked in my own painting, her disfiguring brush strokes create an intriguing contrast between detailed, accurate painting with abstract interruptions.”
