- Temporary Observations | Charlie Harrison Art
Temporary Observations 2016 - present How do common objects and experiences direct and shape our actions? This project creates artificial interventions in the built environment for observation into the fragility of our perceptual models. The observation of genuine human behaviours can be fleeting and ungraspable. By placing engrained signs, models and installations in a series of common and less common scenarios, viewers are invited to interact with artificial structures and test their perceptual agility. Documentation and recording of these interactions may be left to the imagination; when objects such as replica fuse switches or wet paint signs are removed or taken, residues of these accords and altercations can be seen and pondered. More recently, CCTV systems have been used alongside live note-taking, trap-cams and documentation by the viewers themselves. LOST Misplaced objects of play Work in progress Bollards II 10 replica bollards were planted in selected pedestrian locations around Deptford (for DeptfordX Fringe). Documentation of public interactions with the bollards were recorded and broadcast live online.

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

- House & Garden | Charlie Harrison Art
House & Garden The house was built in 1840 on allotment land. To this day, the house cannot be reached by car and must be accessed by a public footpath from the village of Pinchbeck. Locked in by waterways, the kitchen looks out over changing agricultural fields to the River Glen, the water tower and beyond. The garden is established, with three old apple trees, cherry blossom, rosehip, ivy and creeping buttercup. The overgrown plot which neighbour's the site is home to many birds and wildlife, and Gallery Walk's garden has been home to our rabbits Leyla & Boris, and lurcher Peggy.
