new in the gallery: jeffrey harrison

JANUARY 28TH - FEBRUARY 26TH, 2022

We are pleased to present a feature of recent oil paintings by Jeffrey Harrison through February 26th. Harrison lives and works in Toronto and has been exhibiting with Dianna Witte Gallery since 2005.

"Harrison's paintings are objects that we interact with: they make their physicality known through size, texture, and colour. The energy in them is palatable. His most recent work deviates slightly from Harrison's previous series, with the motif of nature and flowers at the forefront (flowers on acid, albeit). Harrison's own relationship to nature and gardening influences this motif, with elements from his life incorporated into the paintings. 

Looking at Harrison's paintings, we realize that there's pleasure in chaos. Our eyes flutter through the work, finding new sections and passageways with each glance. A psychedelic Rorschach Test, we can attribute what we want onto the paintings, and it tells us something about ourselves."
