Watercolor and crayon on paper | 2017
Brian Harte (b.1978) is an artist based in Thurles, Ireland. Working primarily as a painter, Harte creates stark and cinematic pictorial images of domestic scenes. He balances energetic painterly abstraction with tightly composed interiors, taking conceptual cues from such varied cultural figures as Franz Kafka, Philip Guston, The Brothers Quay, and Albert Oehlen. Family Portrait is illustrative and filled with fragmented narratives, allowing the viewer to project and explore.
