Norman Harman is an Edinburgh born, visual artist gaining his degree at Edinburgh College of Art (1997 – 2001), winning the RSA Latimer Painting Prize. He developed his studio and professional practice in Northern England for 15 years before moving back to Edinburgh in 2015.
His work has has been exhibited across the UK and Europe and he is a member of the art collective Static State.
His recent projects include a digital video collaboration with Irvine Welsh for Message From The Skies (Edinburgh) and The Last Confirmation, an ongoing collaboration with artist Robness Cyberpop.
His practice is of a binary nature; exploring the discordant interference between paint and digital. Each deliberate misrepresentation of over-painted digital, reveals the beauty of lost transmissions and corrupted imagery. Within the corruption, there is a breaking up of the information, which allures to the space between abstraction and figuration.
He is currently in the process of exploring AI and generative art, and the power of blockchain technology within the changing creative landscape.
