Tobias Harrison Paintings

British, b. 1950

Tobias Harrison was born in 1950. He grew up in the Lake District where his parents were both well known British artists. As a young artist and whilst at school Tobias Harrison was introduced to the art of pottery. Tobias became inspired to create pottery professionally. After an art foundation at Lancaster University, he graduated at Central College London and went onto study as a thrower at Chelsea Pottery. Tobias Harrison established his first art studio in 1974 specializing in lusterware. Harrison spent the next 30 years making exquisite art pieces that have become highly collectable. In 2000, Tobias Harrison felt that it was time to seek a new challenge and decided to try painting, having not painted or drawn for 30 years. Harrison loved the medium of oil paint and had found the challenge he had been looking for. Since then, Tobias has quickly established himself as a painter and artist of substance developing a strong following of modern British art lovers. Tobias Harrison makes no conscious attempt to paint in a particular style, letting the subject dictate how he paints. Tobias tries to mimic the colors and textures of what he sees, not a photographic image rather an interpretation of what he sees and feels.

Small Fauvist River Landscape Painting with Boat, Expressionist Oil on Panel

By Vladimir Ksieski

Located in Sitges, Barcelona

Small Fauvist River Landscape Painting with Boat, Expressionist Oil on Panel Medium: Oil on panel Dimensions: 26 x 33 cm (10.24 x 13 in) Framing: Unframed Signature: Signed lower left Date: c.2020 Condition: Good condition. Stable support and well-preserved paint layer. A vibrant small-scale landscape painting depicting a river scene with a boat, industrial architecture and simplified human figures. Executed with a loose and expressive brushwork, the composition reflects a strong fauvist and expressionist influence. The artist uses bold contrasts of reds, yellows, greens and blues to create a dynamic and almost naïve atmosphere, reminiscent of early 20th-century European modernism reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. Despite its modest size, the painting has a strong visual presence, making it ideal for collectors of small-format works or for curated gallery wall compositions. Vladimir Ksieski...
