Harry T. Burleigh

My passion for art has always revolved around beauty, not just in people and places, but also in shapes and colors. I never know what or who will appear as I apply pigments to the canvas. The lingering mystery of not being certain of the results yet still being driven to produce them is what makes the effort of creation so captivating.

This, combined with innate pareidolia, by which I continuously see faces and figures in random surfaces, allows me to pull these images forward, seemingly from nothing, and present
them, however subtly to the observer. An important conversation needs to occur between the viewer and my art, one that doesn't involve me, and is silent and discreet. If my work speaks first, then the dialogue is afoot.
