T.S. Harris, La Mer Painting

Description

Seen first at One Kings Lane: Inspired by midcentury snapshots and film stills, this piece from T. S. Harris perfectly captures the charm and spirit of summer days gone by. This work is printed on gallery-wrapped canvas, displayed in a white pine floater frame, and arrives ready to hang. The California artist T.S. Harris takes old black-and-white snapshots, often found at flea markets and yard sales, and lights them up with color. Her subjects are nostalgic, like her series on film stars of the 1940s and ’50s and her scenes of long leisurely summers. Harris makes each painting come to life by cropping into each scene, roughing up the paintwork, and weaving in a bright, light-filled palette.
