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

Status (Performance) 2017 This work contributed to We’re All Involved In This Mess, an experimental performative exhibition at EnclaveLab in London. The three-week long exhibition consisted of a flux of performances and site-specific creations in which artists engaged both with the space and with the previous works, leaving a succession of traces along the way.

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.

ACE Developing Your Creative Practice - Supporting Imagery & Information Please find below some imagery and information in support of my Developing Your Creative Practice application. The proposed work would seek to expand on my knowledge of filmmaking techniques and especially in the use of 16mm equipment. The primary theme and location for this work would be Lincolnshire and the fens - I am interested in the area of the fens which was historically reclaimed from the sea. I want to understand the history of water management in this environment and those who have lived and continue to live here. The below work details some initial exploration of these techniques and themes, including previous experience of filmmaking, working with landscape imagery in Scotland, and people living with rare dementias. Further information is given about projects which have explored water management systems, the land and materials of the fens, and relationships between human and non-human systems. I have also included some links to relevant information about important sites, archives, centres of knowledge and cultural context for the proposed development work. LINCS 2020 Experiments with clay-making, pottery and painting. Experience with Filmmaking the 'Neva' is a multichannel video installation about dementia, narration and the landscapes of a test. Are the voices of people with dementia diminished by cognitive testing materials? This film demonstrates individual capacities for expression through narration whilst exploring creative, historical and aesthetic qualities hidden in a scientific test of reading. Featuring 6 narrators who encounter a range of challenges with reading; from perceiving letters and words, to speaking them aloud or understanding their meaning, the film aims to highlight retained strengths for communication through bodily gesture, facial intonation and the playful drive to express oneself. The short passage that is narrated in the film is commonly used by neurologists when assessing reading abilities, and it was devised by Prof Elizabeth K Warrington as part of the Queens Square Screening Test for Cognitive Defects. The text includes details from Prof. Warrington’s own personal history and the film creatively explores these names, places and objects in association with the narrations. This project has been funded by the Created Out of Mind residency at Wellcome Collection, London and UCL. The film will be toured around the UK throughout 2019, funded by a Wellcome Public Engagement grant.

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. (Click here for more documentation) Overground A full scale replica of a London Overground Station staircase was built in a garage from foam, card and paint and then opened up to the public. The event was documented using CCTV and public photography for 24 hours, over a week. (Click here for more documentation) Wet Paint on Wall Wet Paint signs are stuck to different walls and visited periodically to see how long they stay up. (Click here for more documentation) Refused Replica fuse switches were left in pub toilets and visited periodically to observe if they have been removed.
