Will Harman

Humour is at the heart of Harman’s practice. His paintings are fun. Drawing from his experience and cultural heritage, he creates purposely kitsch scenes that are recognisable and accessible. Using gatherings such as birthday parties, family events, nights out and the regulars at the local as a starting point, Harman fills his canvases with stiff and awkward characters, in his twisted visual diary, composed with a painterly crudeness for the viewer to confront and enjoy, as he navigates the course between realism and the surreal.
