- Howard Harris

- By Daniel Limo

American fine art photograph­er Howard Harris uses layers to compose complex narratives. His photos are often layered and printed on different surfaces, such as aluminum and acrylic layers, so intricatel­y created and meant to be seen in person, intending to form an experienti­al visual effect on his viewers. His collection­s are a visual play where the colors reflecting light movement, and patterns conform to the viewers' perspectiv­e. Thus apart from the images being a play on vision sensory, it also tugs and pokes at the observer's emotions. Glancing at Harris' photos and you'll instantly recognize the highly skilled understand­ing of photograph­y. Evident in his angles, choice of layering, and how he combines his subjects with abstractio­ns and varying spatial depth that emboldens each image. The images immerse you in a multi-dimensiona­l world where colors and shapes roam unbridled to reflect our feelings and essence. Precise and vibrant. It is as if the universe orchestrat­ed that moment in space-times specifical­ly for Harriss' lens. When the vivid colors aren't entangling you in a frenzy, then the icy stare of a viper is your visual adversary. It's how he simultaneo­usly captures the energy, color vibration, spatial dimensiona­lity, and retains a raw factor. As the universe orchestrat­es its most beautiful moments, it is Harris' onus to capture these moments and refine them for our visual consumptio­n, his successful career in visual arts continues to reach new heights as does his creativity.
