My abstract art - The Outsider Art of Ian Frederick Harris...

My abstract art lives in that space between recognition and doubt—a face that isn’t quite a face, a city that never fully forms, a landscape remembered more by feeling than detail.

I work from the outside in, layering colour, texture, and gestural marks until unexpected shapes begin to surface.

Rusted tones, muted blues, and sudden flashes of red or green create a tension between calm and unease, as if something has just happened or is about to.

Nothing is fixed: figures dissolve into fields of colour, structures waver on the edge of collapse, and each piece invites you to bring your own story to the gaps.

These paintings are less about answers and more about that charged, in-between moment when you’re not quite sure what you’re seeing—but you can’t look away.
