About The Work
Brian Harte’s first print with Simco Editions, Landscape, is based on a painting of the same name. Most of Harte’s medium-to-large format paintings, generally painted with oil on linen, begin with large, flattened fields, often painted with a single color. Yet they’re also littered with the flotsam and jetsam of daily life: pieces of furniture, random toys left behind, sweaters, crumpled beds, stains on the wall, pieces of food, various animals, etc. These elements in Landscape are highlighted with semi-gloss and gloss varnishes to provide a variety of depth in this UV pigment print not unlike the original painting.
Harte suggests that his work might be “steeped in Modernism,” but what is perhaps more interesting is the way in which it can also be seen as a deft hybrid of Modernism’s emphasis on the grid and today’s emphasis on the cloud. “I want them to look more like a network of things,” he explains. “Disjointed maybe, but a network of things, because that is how we exist at the moment.”
