John Harris
"Streambed III, " River Rocks Painting

2022

About the Item

This original realistic oil painting on linen by John Harris features an earth-toned palette and captures a close-up view of water rushing over small rocks in a river bed. Toward the top of the composition, the water becomes foamy white as it flows with the movement of the stream. It has a horizontal format, measuring 26" x 48" and 27.5" x 49.5" x 2" framed. The painting is framed in a neutral wood floater frame, and signed by the artist in the lower right-hand corner of the painting. It is wired and ready to hang. Of his work, Connecticut-based artist, John Harris says, "I isolate and exaggerate forms, colors and sequences found in nature. My large scale, realist paintings take one to two months to complete, as I meticulously works to recreate various environmental complexities from photographs, memory and artistic expression. The process begins with mapping out large shapes of color on canvas, and then details are added. When the paint dries, more paint and glazes are added. The repetition of this careful glazing technique results in the dramatization of translucent layers - a visual effect that is conceptually harmonious with its subject: water. I am most interested in exploring water’s physical properties - reflection, turbidity, rhythm, pattern, that make up its unique viewing experience. I address these issues by isolating a moment in time in various bodies of water: oceans and rivers. The result is a series of peaceful, hypnotic and turbulent paintings."
