Each of John Harmer's works holds a story, his latest body of work portrays a compelling narrative with scenes created partly in response to a world mediated through film and screen.

“The depiction of landscape and architecture in art, cinema and television, provides the impetus and inspiration for my work. These found images often establish a starting point for a piece.”

-John Harmer

Harmers fidelity to a scene or atmosphere coincides with a clear delight in materials and process; with works often laying between the abstract and figurative they take on a quality which leaves the time or place unexplained, inviting our imagination to roam and fully appreciate the aesthetic.
