Harms' new body of work will continue to explore painting as a tool with which
to address contemporary experience. Of his work, the artist states: "As I
pay close attention to the material aspects of painting, my work certainly
exudes a sense of technological awareness. These paintings are contemporary
objects with seams and edges that are confident and exacted. The surfaces,
painted with mechanical conviction, undoubtedly borrow from the tropes of
digital art and, though I enjoy the mimicry, I eschew machine techniques by
hand applying the delicately modulated lines; trumping the manufactured
aesthetic with the hand made.
Bradley Harms received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Calgary
in 1996 and his Masters of Fine Arts from the prestigious School of the Art
Institute of Chicago. His work has been exhibited through North America and
