John Harris Sci-Fi Art

John Harris is a British painter and illustrator, well known for his

science fiction art and other work, such as landscapes and marine

paintings. This is a classic style of sci-fi art like John Berkey.

Artist bio from Tokarta.com: John Harris was born in London in 1948,

studied painting at Exeter College of Art and graduated from there in

1970. He has participated in numerous exhibitions both here and

abroad, occassionallly showing with such groups as the Brotherhood of

Ruralists. His first one-man show was at Double Vision Gallery in

1984. A preoccupation with scale and atmosphere is the hallmark of his

work and which has led clients such as Shell, Phillips Electronics,

George Lucas and many others to commission pieces from him. Sir Clive

Sinclair has in his collection, many large-scale pieces of his work.

In 1984 NASA invited him to witness a launch of the Space Shuttle and

record the event in a painting, the first British Artist to be thus

honoured. That work now hangs in the Kennedy Space Centre and is part

of the Smithsonian Collection. Much of the work of this period may be

found in the book "Mass: The Art of John Harris", by Ron Tiner. Since

then, his work has broadened to cover other areas of painting,

predominantly landscape and marine painting, and when not engaged in

his own projects, still produces for the commercial sector.

Mass - The Art Of John Harris

Book Description: John Harris's grand vision and style have won

international acclaim--and a NASA commission, never before given to a

British artist. Yet, this is the first collection of his paintings in

print. The work is truly colossal, featuring the innovative,

ultramodern structures that brought him fame and conveying the sheer

size that edifices built by future-fantastic technology might attain,

and the awesomeness, even the terror, of their presence.
