Steven Harrison
Edinburgh College Of Art, Drawing And Painting
My work is a shameless celebration of the humour and irony of everyday life, absorbing influences from all facets of pop culture, twisting meanings and creating jokes from the most mundane material. Embracing the idea of the 'crap aesthetic' I work with cheap, throwaway and reclaimed surfaces that further serve to mock the pop-culture content of my written work.
I choose to work with text because text allows me to be direct and brash in ways I could not achieve with purely visual imagery and allows me to communicate my ideas clearly to the audience. I believe the democratising effect of text, the clear message conveyed to all when read is a worthy achievement in itself. Rather than trying to bury ideas in esoteric symbols and abstract subtleties, I choose to proudly flaunt my ideas on the surface, joking with the viewer and denying the vain spectre of Art all reverence.

* your art is witty, effortlessly cool and aesthetically pleasing * your art is wearing a beautiful grey suit * your art can’t ever possibly be seen drinking CIDER * your art has a seductive dirty look to it, suggesting its awesome in bed * your art never gets up before noon * your art scares other artists a bit, they are afraid that it might crawl into their rooms at night and make fun of their art (I would not mind. your art is hot. welcome, steven’s art!) * you art doesn’t like – vile green paint, sparkles and snowflakes * your art likes dirty jokes and cartoons on Sunday mornings * boring people that are not worth mentioning might sometimes find your art ‘disgustingâ⠂¬â„¢ * yet, your art looks good on walls * on weekends your art can be seen eating cereal in HIS pajamas * your art is hilarious * don’t ever stop doing your art * |
