A unique journey through the extraordinary career of Jeffrey Harris

Strange, compelling and intensely personal, the art of Jeffrey Harris is a high-pressure zone. This survey exhibition highlights major themes and key moments from Harriss three decades of art-making, ranging from razor-sharp etchings to jewel-like icons, from sumptuous triptychs to a group of unflinching recent self-portraits. It is a testament to a lifelong journey an autobiography in paint by an outstanding New Zealand painter. Jeffrey Harris is the first chance Christchurch audiences have had to experience the artists painted worlds in depth.

Jeffrey Harris is curated by Justin Paton, Curator of Contemporary Art at Dunedin Public Art Gallery.
