John Harris (painter)
"Bridge Falls" Naturalistic River Oil Painting

2023

About the Item

This naturalistic oil painting by John Harris features a cool blue and earth-toned palette and captures a close-up view of river water rushing over rocks on a riverbed. It is made with oil paint on on gallery wrapped linen canvas, and is framed in a light oak floater frame. The painting itself is 36" x 64" and measures 37.5" x 65.5" x 2" framed. It is signed by the artist in the lower right-hand corner of the painting, and is wired and ready to hang. "I isolate and exaggerate forms, colors and sequences found in nature," Harris says. "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."
