John Harris
"Ocean II, " Coastal Oil Painting

2020

About the Item

This original oil painting depicts a rolling wave crashing onto an ocean shoreline. The viewer has the view of the wave from an angle, with the wave running the length of the painting from the bottom left-hand corner of the canvas up to the top right. A large-scale statement piece, it measures 64" x 30", making it an ideal format to be placed over a large sofa or mantle, or open wall. The painting is signed by the artist in the lower right corner, and 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."
