Kenny Harris: IRELAND
Los Angeles Preview: June 23 - July 2, 2020
New York: September 2020

We are pleased to announce the bi-coastal exhibition, Ireland,by painter Kenny Harris, in our Los Angeles and New York City galleries. Based in Los Angeles, Kenny Harris travels around the world to produce his poetic interior and landscape paintings. This recent series of artworks depicting locales in Ireland were to be shown in April in New York City. Due to the COVID pandemic crisis,the exhibition was postponed. For the benefit of the artist and his collectors, friends,and admirers,we will host the exhibition in both his hometown of Los Angeles at the George Billis Gallery LA, and later in New York City where the works will be exhibited at the George Billis Gallery in Chelsea.

“Kenny Harris’s latest paintings reveal the rooms of ancient castles and grand country houses empty of people, and yet, they are filled with life and animation,” writes the noted cultural critic David Masello, who has written about Harris for Fine Art Connoisseur,where he is a longtime columnist. “Light, space, emptiness, shadows, quiet--these are the characters that inhabit Harris’s rooms. And like all great art, Harris’s artworks make the reader invent his or her own stories for what is being shown. All of us look into these rooms and landscapes and sense that just moments ago, someone was there. But why? And what were they doing when they inhabited these spaces? A person never tires of looking at a Kenny Harris painting because each is filled with life, with action, with a narrative, with an existential profundity. We, the viewer, come to occupy those otherwise empty rooms.”
