Biography/History: Born in Stuttgart, Germany in 1950, Alfred Harris received his B.F.A. from the Maryland Institute College of Arts. He has long been a resident of Seattle. Silhouettes, positive/negative space, tracery, and line drawing are constants in Harris’ evolving painting career. His 20 year oeuvre covers source material from the written word to figurative, drawing from a core concept of abstraction. In his current work, he shreds once-organized compositions and reassembles them under glossed resin to create bold, collaged paintings.
