Harman combines the genres of figurative, landscape and surrealism painting in these metaphysical compositions. Influenced by modern masters such as Doig and Ghenie, Harman combines analogue, generative and digital painting processes, to achieve a Baconian grotesqueness in a POST-COVID, consumer driven world.

Using electronic techniques, which converge the digital and physical, Harman creates abstracted motifs within sparse landscapes. Figures and structures are deliberately burred from the viewer in these highly staged algorithmic compositions. Within the corruption of the digital, there is a break up of information, which leaves the viewer flickering between abstraction and figuration
