Neocon Dreams - Market Delirium
Post-painting
Circa 2026
In Neocon Dreams, the theatre of geopolitical power becomes a grotesque celebration of its own impending collapse. Champagne flows as fighter jets circle, financial empires tremble and the architects of conflict toast to a world they have helped dismantle.
Through his pioneering postpainting process, Harman brings artificial intelligence, photographic fragments and digital painting into collision. Figures dissolve beneath violent gestures of colour; political spectacle fractures into abstraction. The familiar language of power is simultaneously constructed and destroyed.
These paintings inhabit the uneasy territory between historical record and manufactured reality, where wealth becomes ideology, destruction becomes entertainment and the distinction between civilisation and barbarism begins to disappear.
The world is burning. The champagne is still being poured.
