31 JULY - 24 AUGUST 2024 | Gow Langsford

“For Harrison, figures under tension are a point of fascination.  His approach to the subject is classical, often working from a life figure or model to begin his preparatory drawings.”

Christchurch based artist Sam Harrison is a craftsman in every sense of the word. He is a master of many mediums, working across bronze, concrete and plaster along with watercolour and printmaking techniques. Harrison’s works have a raw, emotive quality, which is underpinned by meticulous attention to detail. The works presented in his second solo exhibition with Gow Langsford continue his exploration of the human figure. Harrison notes, "It’s timeless. There has been and always will be a nude, as long as we are here.”
