Recent Works by “Mostly Bouguereau” at Eric Schindler Gallery This May
05.2023
“Mostly Bouguereau”, Tim Harriss’s latest group of paintings, will be featured from May 5 till June 16 at Eric Schindler Gallery.
Tim, a self-taught artist, simultaneously emulates and subverts the portrait paintings of the Old Masters, contorting a subject’s features beyond characterization into the realm of measured abstraction.
In “Mostly Bouguereau”, Tim has again pushed the boundaries of representation even further, this time stopping just short of a point where the subject is utterly unrecognizable.
Of these recent paintings, Tim says: “I’ve specifically chosen to reinterpret these particular works by William Adolphe Bouguereau, Abbott Handerson Thayer, Sally Mann, and Jacob van Oost because each is well-composed and technically precise, and all provide enormous inspiration for exploratory abstraction.”
