Tobias Harrison Art
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.

Elizabeth Higgins (Canadian, b. 1960)
Elizabeth Higgins describes herself as an abstract figurative and landscape painter. Everything around her serves as a potential subject, an inspiration to begin a painting. Fidelity to the landscape, the figure, or the still life is relative, as she isn’t interested in literal depictions; instead, it’s the abstract relationships of these shapes and colors, the abstract pictorial design that drives her work.
Higgins’ paintings are rooted in the tradition stemming from Courbet, Derain, Bonnard, Matisse, Morandi, German Expressionism, and the Canadian Group of Seven (also known as the Algonquin School of landscape painters, 1920–1933). She is influenced by the work of her artist-teachers Paul Resika—himself a student of Hans Hofmann—and Robert De Niro, Sr. (1922-1993), as well as the paintings of contemporary artist Peter Doig. Her artistic evolution stretches across this continuum.
It is the “in-between”, the hovering between representation and abstraction, that interests her, not the labeling effect of details; instead, she aims directly at the spirit of the painting—of making something come to life. John Goodrich wrote in her catalog essay, “Elizabeth Higgins’ direct brushwork and simplified forms suggest an energy, but crucially, reveal a painter who knows the power of color…”
Elizabeth Higgins was born in Toronto, Canada, in 1960. As a Helena...
