Erica Harney- Paint Skins

On view for the month of February are works by artist, Erica Harney. Harney wants to avoid the mundane by deconstructing the common scenery so routinely passing us by, then recreate an exciting version which grabs the viewer’s attention through a unique collage process. From gorgeous staged interiors to the vibrant outdoors the aim is to be transported and imagine oneself in a new setting. The meticulous attention to detail also demands appreciation from paintings that are then peeled and torn to the precise extraction of photographic prints, layered in a way to achieve tantalizing textures real or suggested. Each piece is cozy and charming in composition while breaking expected bounds.
