Born in Dublin in 1953 Pat Harris is regarded as one of Ireland’s leading figurative painters. He studied firstly at NCAD and then at
the Higher Institute of Fine Art, Antwerp. His early work was based on the human form, in his recent work he has turned to still life
and landscape as central motifs; here he often pares down the image to a mere tracing, a memory of its presence. Harris currently
lives in Belgium where he teaches painting at The Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Antwerp. His work is represented in a number of
public collections, including: The Arts Council of Ireland, The Irish Museum of modern Art, Dublin, The Hugh Lane Municipal
Gallery of Modern Art, Dublin, The National Self-Portrait and Contemporary Art Collection Limerick, University College Dublin
and The University of Antwerp, Belgium.
