Biography
Kirsty Harris, a contemporary British painter, delves into the profound depths of human existence through her art. Her work centers on the concept of the decisive moment, offering viewers a meditative exploration of a mere split second in time - a moment that has become an iconic representation of humanity's relentless race towards self-destruction.
In her paintings, Kirsty captures the exquisite beauty and awe of the natural landscape, juxtaposed with the hauntingly evocative elements of dust, glowing light, and the sheer force of an impending explosion. Within this juxtaposition, she unveils the underlying narratives and myths that surround the characters entangled in this intricate masterplan - a plan that seems to inexorably lead us towards our own demise. The essence of survival, both as a collective and as individuals, weaves through Kirsty's art, serving as a stark reminder of the ongoing struggle that defines the human condition.
In her latest series of paintings, Kirsty Harris embarks on a new artistic exploration. Her miniature oil masked portraits, with dimensions of 8.9x6.4 cm, invite viewers to enter an intimate world of intricately detailed and emotionally charged compositions. Through her masterful use of this small canvas, Kirsty continues to engage with profound themes, offering fresh perspectives on the human experience and our relentless pursuit of meaning in a world poised on the brink of transformation.
