GABRYEL HARRISON

What Stays In the Heart Blooms In the Dark [sold] Aria Carmen Habanera [sold] Luminous Tumult Offering Constellation Seven Sisters

Gabryel Harrison presents a passionate exploration of botanical form in her latest series of paintings. Strongly influenced by the nature of light and by the historical tradition of Vanitas paintings, Harrison depicts vibrant fields of blossoms, which flourish and wither as they transition through life’s stages. The artist says “The blossoming of a flower is a temporal event, one bound by the inexorable movement toward death born within the seed, and within each of us. Their eloquence is momentary, a brief soliloquy against their own, and also our, mortality. I choose to paint flowers in all their sensuality and lyricism, their very rootedness in the terrestrial, to speak of the transcendence I feel in their presence.”

Magnetic North #11 [sold] Northern Light #1 [sold] Magnetic North: Sea and Sky Storm Season #11 [sold] Magnetic North #15 [sold] Northern Light #7 [sold]

Johnston clearly understand nature’s nuances, and her work reflects a genuine coastal sensibility.
