Gordon Harris (b.1977) is an Irish artist living and working in Connemara. He is widely known for the high-realism of his figurative work. Harris is a figurative artist with superb technique. He infuses a harmony between the natural and the conceptual to create works that are provocative and dramatic. The surfaces of these oil paintings are often embellished with genuine gold and silver leaf.
These precious metal leafed areas will shift with the intensity of light in a space or as one simply walks across the room.
Harris is gaining a strong reputation as one Ireland’s most promising figurative painters, along with a strong following in the UK and France where he exhibits regularly. In 2013 he had a sell-out solo show in Ireland and in 2014 his work was selected for the annual RHA exhibition.
