GORDON HARRIS: Self-taught artist Gordon is gaining a strong reputation as one of Ireland’s most promising fgurative painters. Working with oil on board, often embellished with genuine gold and silver leaf, Gordon’s contemporary realism work is inspired by artists such as Van Ike and Caravaggio. With his influences ranging from the masters of the Renaissance to contemporary art, his work fuses classical and modern interpretations within single works. Gordon says: “Today’s society has a huge influence on most of my works. Every day I look into my children’s eyes and realise what they have to face in society - it triggers the creative drive in me and the need to communicate what I envisage to others. It is important that my works sit alongside some of the best artists in their feld. The IN:SIGHT exhibition is a great opportunity to showcase my works to a wider audience.”
