ARTIST STATEMENT
During the pandemic, my color palate experienced a wild and unnatural twist in vibrancy, dipping into surreal, deeply saturated visual escapes. The swamplands of Louisiana sparked this fascination after witnessing a natural phenomenon where the decomposition of leaf matter creates an oil-slick effect on the thick sludge. The surface becomes a thin veil into another dimension filled with life and wonder—a piece of everyday magic. Water reflections have a mystical lore in storytelling, often depicting messages from the future or the past. My oil paintings consider these possibilities as they blissfully sink into the surreal.
Britt Harrison is a Brooklyn-based painter, sculptor, and curator from North Carolina. She gained her BFA in Painting and BS in Psychology from UNC Wilmington in 2011 and has continued her artistic education through courses at Art Center (Pasadena, CA), Pratt Institute, (Brooklyn, NY), and the University of California at Los Angeles. She holds a MPS in The Business of Art and Design from the Maryland Institute College of Art.
