A selection of abstract paintings by Ian Frederick Harris.
I’ve long given up on the explanation of the abstract. On the whys and the wherefores.
All I can say is that when the mood takes me, I let myself go on the canvas. Rather than me controlling the paint it’s very much the other way around. I follow the paint.
The strange thing is, at least in my case, I always know whether it has ‘worked’ or not. There’s a certain satisfaction that happens and that’s the moment I’m willing to let the work be seen and for others to make up their own minds.

On fire in confusion
