About the Item

Michael Harrington is a Canadian painter living in Ottawa, ON. He creates narrative-based paintings, creating scenes that are dark, cinematic and open to interpretation. His painting style, while representational, is not easy to pin down, as it is a sort of crossover of realism and folk art. Both Edward Hopper and David Lynch come to mind in images that often depict scenes that can be both observational and surreal, with one or more figures in moments of contemplation, negotiation or camaraderie. As viewers, our encounters with these ‘meetings’ invite the question of motive. The unusual costuming, décor and gestures play with notions of performance and the ephemeral. Odd interior spaces and landscapes serve as backgrounds that depict common space that is not quite public or private. A staged setting where we are the audience.
