Conor Harrington — Masters of Money and Mirrors (Study)
Conor Harrington

Masters of Money and Mirrors (Study)

2019

A dynamic composition rendered in coloured pencil, oil, and oil pastel on paper, this study by Conor Harrington merges his signature tension between classical figurative painting and contemporary urban aesthetics. Suited figures, rendered with both precision and gestural energy, emerge from and dissolve into layers of abstracted mark-making, evoking themes of power, illusion, and authority. The work on paper captures the raw, exploratory quality of a study while retaining the commanding presence characteristic of Harrington's larger practice.
