Will Harman

An artist of Filipino and British heritage, he excels at depicting collective scenes. His creations employ rich, bold lines and vivid colours to render his compositions, while employing short, decisive brushstrokes to build layers upon the canvas, conveying a sense of dynamism. His themes resonate deeply with contemporary life, immersing viewers in the scenes and embodying his aspiration to ‘endow the canvas with sound and immediacy.’

His works bear witness to his acute observation of the surrounding reality. The group interactions and absurd details frequently found in his compositions carry a touch of humour and satire, provoking laughter while subtly prompting reflection on social hierarchies and ethnic relations. Beneath the light-hearted surface, the works conceal contemplations on social stratification and ethnic relations, using a wry tone to reflect the contradictions and realities of modern life.
