Mark Harrison"Chambers" Oil Painting
About the Item
Mark Harrison's (UK based) "Chambers" is an oil painting that depicts an arid landscape with clouds and a small unassuming building.
I have been interested in painting skies for a long time as I find them so important for setting the mood for a painting, but it is only the past few years that they have come to feature so much more in my work as I have developed my skills in painting them.
With my ongoing series “The Big Sky” I am combining two previously quite disparate influences on my work, the mystic grandeur of the Hudson River School and the quiet loneliness of Edward Hopper.
Sometimes they are silent epic landscapes of the Desert South West; sometimes, they are of an isolated building, maybe on the edge of a small town. I am drawn to the older buildings that are run down or deserted, where maybe it was too tough an existence and have been abandoned to the elements. But always above is the sky, often emphasizing the natural grandeur as well as the fragile isolation of human life below it.

Mark Harrison
Mark Harrison (born 1951) is a UK-based artist whose career spans both fantasy illustration and fine art painting. Initially establishing himself as a prolific freelance illustrator from 1974 to 2002, Harrison created over 480 book jacket illustrations primarily for fantasy and science fiction publishers across the UK and US. Around 2003-2005, he transitioned exclusively to fine art, initially working in chalk pastel before adopting oil paint as his primary medium. Harrison's work explores diverse themes, evolving from Southeast Asian influences and imaginative realism to evocative cityscapes of London and New York, and more recently, striking single light source paintings including moonlit scenes. His artistic philosophy emphasizes beauty and mystery beyond mere prettiness. Harrison's achievements include the British Science Fiction Association's prize for Best Artwork (1991/1992), multiple Chesley Award nominations, and exhibition in prestigious venues including London's Mall Galleries and Cork Street galleries.
