Norman Norman Harman is a Scottish artist and one of the early pioneers of POSTPAINTING, a practice that merges traditional painting with artificial intelligence and digital systems to explore themes of distortion, control, and aesthetic entropy in the 21st century.

Born in Edinburgh, Harman studied Painting at Edinburgh College of Art (1997–2001), where he was awarded the RSA Latimer Painting Prize. Since then, he has developed a critically engaged practice that fuses the sensibilities of analogue painting with the language of the machine.
His work begins at the edge of signal breakdown—where overpainted digital images are fractured, glitched, and reimagined. The results are often painterly reconstructions of corrupted visual data, exploring the fragile boundaries between figuration and abstraction, reality and simulation.

Harman’s recent work includes LOWEKCHO, an expansive ongoing series that chronicles a fictional dystopian territory consumed by biotech, environmental decay, and late-capitalist absurdity. The project blends AI-generated world-building with physical and digital painting, and is released as 1/1 NFTs on SuperRare.
He also collaborated with Irvine Welsh on a short cinematic video for Message From The Skies (Edinburgh), and is co-developing The Last Confirmation, a generative post-image collaboration with crypto artist ROBNESS V2.

His work is widely collected in both traditional and blockchain-native contexts and is part of the first wave of artists using Web3 to reinvent how art is made, distributed, and preserved.
