Harrison’s paintings are not portraits in the traditional sense but rather expressions of human experience—fluid, layered, and deeply introspective. His figures emerge from textured surfaces, built through an instinctive process of abstraction and realism. By layering colour, mark-making, and spatial depth, he creates works that evoke the complexity of human interaction and perception. “In these faces,” Harrison explains, “I seek a kind of abstract realism—one that resonates both visually and emotionally. I want the viewer to feel a moment of recognition, as if their gaze is met and understood.” In r ecent developments, Charles has been working alongside AI to explore new mark-making techniques , and technological relationships with the human. With a growing international presence, his work is held in numerous private and public collections worldwide, solidifying his reputation as an artist whose work speaks to the universal nature of human connection. 2025 Amélie, 2025 Mixed media on printed canvas 60 X 80 cm Tussle, 2025 Mixed media on printed canvas 60 X 60 cm Model, 2025 Mixed media on printed canvas 60 X 60 cm Red, 2025 Mixed media on printed canvas 60 X 60 cm Docio, 2025 Mixed media on printed canvas 60 X 60 cm Available works

Gallery Walk Home Residents Partners Resources Our team and partners The residency programme will connect with many individuals, communities and organisations. We have been building the project in consultation with community leaders, regional arts and heritage organisations and professionals with experience of delivering similar projects. Project Management Gallery Walk residencies are managed by Charlie Harrison and Katie Simpson, who have over 15 years experience leading innovative arts projects, working with some of the most exciting creative ideas and practitioners in the UK and internationally. Katie is currently curator of exhibitions at Nottingham Contemporary and Charlie is an artist working in creative health, education and research at University College London. Both grew up in Lincolnshire, with a passion for the area and all it has to offer creatively. After moving to Pinchbeck in 2021, they have been working to connect a regional network and provide more opportunities for creatives to make and share their work. Regional Partner Organisations - confirmed Each resident will have opportunities for mentorship, networking and display. Residencies will be self-led, but have options for dialogue and support with our growing network of regional partner organisations.

Testing Situations About Blog Events Team Partners Protocal Minutes Search Results More How do cognitive tests help us understand how the human mind works? By adapting existing tests and utilising artistic methods this project uncovers experiences of assessment whilst communicating the ways we perceive the world. Testing Situations is a research project working with the mechanisms of neurological assessment. A series of artworks have been created in response to testing materials and archival videos of people undertaking assessments, and the project has initially focused on tests of language, object, spatial and semantic perception developed at UCL Institute of Neurology. An archive of examples detailing similarities between cognitive tests and conceptual artworks is being formulated and through this research new tests and situations are being explored. The project aims to straddle forms of creativity used in the fields of neuropsychology, conceptual art and experimental technology to discuss the historical evolution of tests and adapt the ways people are assessed in the future. Testing Situations toured around the UK throughout 2019, funded by a Wellcome Public Engagement grant. The project has been developed through the Created Out of Mind research residency at Wellcome Collection and collaborations with members of Rare Dementia Support groups and researchers at the Dementia Research Centre, UCL Institute of Neurology. Learning from this project was expanded on as part of the Understanding Intelligence residency at PRAKSIS, Oslo which asked how constructs of intelligence are measured, used and abused, and how changing understandings of human and more-than-human worlds might require radical redefinitions.
