GORDON HARRISON

Gordon Harrison developed an interest in art at an early age. Born in Montréal in 1953, he spent much of his childhood surrounded by the natural beauty of the Laurentian landscapes. Later in life, he followed this passion by studying landscape architecture at the University of Toronto. Gordon Harrison is proud to be a juried member of the society of Canadian artists and l’académie internationale des beaux-arts du Québec. He has gained an international reputation throughout his career by producing impressive collections of Canadian landscapes from his travels across Canada. His work is a combination of great power and softness. Often referred to as the eighth member of the group of seven, his landscapes border on the edge of abstraction, and are a contemporary vision of what would have become the group of seven paintings.
