Savannah Marie Harris British, b. 1999

Savannah Marie Harris is currently studying at the Royal College of Art, London. The artist's layered canvases create complex environments of nuanced colours, light and textures. Through her abstract canvases, Harris unravels space and time, in an intuitive exploration of the inner world of memory, fantasy and the spiritual. Her urgency to deconstruct personal experiences emerges into remnants of collapsing surfaces described as paintings. A material that Harris often uses and holds significant value is sand. The cultural and geographical meaning of sand touches upon Harris' appreciation for her Caribbean and Cuban heritage. This is visible with the vibrant colours and intuitively entangled gestural brushstrokes.
