Sweet By Gavin Harrison

Life is a bowl of terribly ripe cherries in Gavin Harrison's newest print, Sweet. A confection of half-veiled rag dolls, roses, birds and butterflies, Sweet a 50-piece limited edition fine art pigment print measures 50 cm x 70 cm. A smaller size, 40 x 50 cm, is also available. Each is signed and numbered by the artist.

The print is based upon an original collage by Harrison and offers a tangy marriage of Wizard of Oz and Chutes and Ladders, with characters like a female with a dog's head dancing inexplicably with a pony. Birds examine the bows affixed to bits of the reality Harrison has created while butterflies flit through it all on their way to work.  Roses dot the space while a number of other beings – a large number of them rag dolls of one sort or another – populate other areas under a gossamer of color.  The word "SWEET" is written across the work as if it were a message in lipstick in a hotel room mirror.

Sweet is available directly from the artist here: Gavin Harrison. The large print sells for £140.00, the smaller print for £110.00.

Gavin Harrison : Corrosion

British fashion photographer and artist Gavin Harrison has just released his first fine art pigment print, Corrosion.  The print is 40 cm x 50 cm and printed by Mariela Cadiz in association with Burning Boy Press onto heavy German Etching paper using archival inks process. The edition is limited to 50, each signed, numbered and dated by Harrison.

Gavin, a professional illustrator and fashion photographer, says he fully embraced the freedom of self publishing and used all his skills to produce a rich, highly detailed work about portraiture and time. "I wanted to make this print for myself," he says. "For my own walls.  And to make something something that would work off vintage furnishings and contemporary design. A piece that brought together a collection of surfaces to reflect the world that I live in...and maybe some other people as well."

The artist pulled together a number of different media like aged paper, flaking iron, and a stenciled wall – oxidation in all its forms – and something iconic and British: The school boy photograph from the early 20th century.  The effect is nostalgic – an essay on decay, loss, memory and in the end, civilization. The result is dark but humorous and visually compelling.

Corrosion is available directly from Gavin Harrison for £120.00.  You can order the work here.

Gavin has long worked as a photographer for numerous fashion and editorial projects in the UK and internationally. His portraits of both men and women, sometimes whimsically attired and posed, are humorous, scintillating and extremely sexy.
