All of my images are presented on an aluminum surface. In many of my photographic constructions, a single, often abstracted image is layered over itself with a subtle grid printed on a clear acrylic surface and superimposed over the base image. The resulting visual phenomenon infuses the image with a sense of dimensionality and fluidity affected by such changes as the angle of viewing and light.
Howard Harris's work transcends traditional photographic boundaries, marking a revolutionary approach in contemporary art through his innovative use of technology and layered dimensionality. By creating photographic compositions that exist simultaneously as physical objects and dynamic perceptual experiences, Harris situates himself at the forefront of the Techspressionist movement. His images are not merely captured; they are constructed, layered, and transformed into multi-sensory events, blurring the line between photography, sculpture, and digital art.
Visual reality is an ever-shifting, highly individualized experience. In any given moment, what we see reflects our inner state and synthesis of outer qualities—light, color, movement, and space. Harris’s exploration as a Techspressionist in photographic art represents an attempt to recreate the perceptual experience, with its dynamic nature and hidden complexities. Howard Harris has long been fascinated by both visual perception and design. The Denver, Colorado, USA native earned a BFA from Kansas City Art Institute and a MID (Masters Industrial Design) from Pratt Institute in New York. In 2017, Harris was granted a United States Patent for a Layered Artwork, proving his work's uniqueness and inventiveness. Since then, his work has appeared in many books and publications and is represented by US, U.K., and European galleries.
A Denver Colorado USA native, Mr. Harris has lived and worked in Kansas City, New York and Boston before returning to Denver to establish an integrated direct-marketing company. For over 35 years, he has been a practicing designer and marketer working with the understanding that design is defined as art that you do for others. Since retiring from the direct-marketing world Mr. Harris is now focusing on dimensional photographic fine art. Mr. Harris shows in galleries across the United States and Europe.
The starting point of Howard Harris’ creative experience is the observation of the world, of what lives and what surrounds him: every image is the mirror of a story, the memory of a state of mind, the result of a visual and experiential association; it is the trace of an experience which retrieves as well a private dimension.
In his carefully altered digital prints, American-born photographer Howard Harris takes on what is perhaps the most American of themes: the interrelationship of perception and technology.
