About the Item
Mark Harrison's (UK based) "Steeltown" is an oil painting that depicts a factory with smokestacks contrasted by a city skyline at night.
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
After painting nearly 500 book jackets for most major UK and USA publishers Mark Harrison gave up illustration in 2003 to concentrate on personal work for sale in fine art galleries.

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.

Double Overtime Shift, Urban Industrial Landscape, Contemporary Realist Painting
By Art Chartow
Located in Chicago, IL
The factories of Art Chartow's "Double Overtime Shift" represent strength, industrial might, and the ability to vanquish nature. This place is strange, sinister and forbidding yet at the same time beautiful and fragile. The artist's uses paint to express the power of light at this particular time of day. The winter sun has cast it's light onto the cold metal silos to bring some hope of warmth - as seen on the melting snow covered road. This contemporary realist painting is framed in a simple black wooden frame measuring 23.25h x 45.25w inches.

"Shipyard" Realist Industrial Landscape
By Robert Lavin
Located in Austin, TX
This painting is a 20th century realist landscape depiction of a shipyard by Robert Lavin. The piece is executed in oil on board and measures 10" x 24".
Robert Lavin was born in New York City. His education included Townsend Harris, a prep school in New York followed by college at City College of New York. He also attended the National Academy of Art, where he studied as a painter. Studying the social realists of the 1930’s, Lavin, a former Marine pilot, portrayed steelworkers, roughnecks and trainmen. Lavin often painted his “proletarian ballets”- as one critic called them – to illustrate magazine advertisements.
The Smithsonian Institution and other museums collected Lavin’s original paintings, which portrayed the laboring subjects with dignity and integrity. Lavin also illustrated stock certificates and books. Paper Money magazine praised him as “one of the greatest vignette artists of the 20th century.” In addition to this, Lavin was for a number of years an Associate Professor of Art at City College of New York, a position he left in the mid ‘60’s in order to devote himself full time to his painting. His commissions took him around the world, from the North Sea to the coast of Africa, from the slopes of Alaska to the Sea of Japan. As part of a series for Gulf Oil, he painted the royal family of England for the opening of a new refinery in Wales. Another portrait of one of the early Americanastronauts, appeared on the cover of Time Magazine. Other major commissions during these years included Readers Digest books...
