Nicholas Harper Signature Portraits

Nicholas Harper's signature portraits are characterized by a distinctive style in which he presents the human figure through a lens of magical realism, where long necks and serpentine torsos adorn a subject enshrined within ethereal and atmospheric backdrops.

With a curiosity for iconography, a pursuit of irregular beauty and an ever present awe for the mysterious and occult nature of the soul, a richly ornate vocabulary emerges within Harper's elaborate and painstakingly crafted works. His use of glazing, light and shadow and vintage frames hearken back to the masters of old.
