About the Item
Mark Harrison’s "On the Edge" is a masterfully painted oil on canvas work that captures the striking vastness and quiet solitude of the desert landscape. Created in 2024, this original, handmade piece features a sweeping panoramic format that emphasizes the dramatic scale of the American Southwest. Rich in visual detail, the composition includes a dynamic sky filled with voluminous clouds drifting across a vibrant turquoise expanse, casting gentle shadows on the sunlit terrain below.
Harrison places a modest, weathered house on the far right of the scene, anchoring the piece with a sense of human presence amidst the open wilderness. The foreground features a mixture of scrub brush and reddish earth tones, leading the eye toward distant mesas on the horizon. The artist’s attention to atmospheric perspective and subtle light shifts creates a deeply immersive experience, blending realism with poetic stillness.
Executed in oil on canvas and measuring 11.87 x 31.50 inches (framed to 17.37 x 37 inches), the painting’s horizontal expanse and precision framing heighten its cinematic quality. Harrison’s technical skill and compositional restraint position this work within the traditions of contemporary realism and American landscape painting, while offering a contemplative glimpse into the balance between human habitation and untouched nature.

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.
