Harman's portraits and figurative paintings unravel the modern self—fractured, masked, and endlessly rehearsing power. Orators, bankers, venture capitalists, boxers, punks, and anonymous youths appear not as individuals, but as echoes of archetypes—vessels caught between performance and decay.
Rooted in years of traditional oil painting and sharpened through digital and AI processes, the work bridges the tactile with the virtual, the eternal with the disposable. Each image is a confrontation—a flicker of will against the void, a gesture made in defiance of absurdity. Faces blur, identities dissolve, yet something primal remains: the desire to be seen before the abyss stares back.
