About

Robert Harms brings a new group of oil stick drawings to the exhibition that capture the light, the nature and the seasons of his home and studio in Southampton, New York. His brand of abstraction is akin to the work of Joan Mitchell, a friend of the artist as a young man. His paintings and works on paper have been described as ‘Rustic Lyricism’ by critic Robert Long and indeed capture the country air and landscape with its own beauty. His work has been compared to Fairfield Porter and Willem de Kooning by Henry Geldzahler among others in that it explores ‘a continuum between nature and art’.
