Harwood is a watercolorist whose work reflects his interest
in the relationship between architecture, nature, and light.
Harwood was trained as an architect, then turned his attention
to painting and travel where he finds most of his inspiration.
His work consists of landscape watercolors and three dimensional
watercolor assemblages. The Washington Post writes
that his work "...captures the interplay of blinding
light and deep shadow so typical of summer in the Mediterranean
countries." Mark Leithauser, Chief of Design of the National
Gallery of Art, said "Harwood’s artistry springs
from a tradition of architect transformed to painter. His
work has a strong perspective and cleanness of line …
what makes his work exciting is the highly inventive sculptural
approach he takes with his presentation."
Harwood's paintings have been
shown in numerous solo and group shows in museums, galleries,
and special exhibitions. In 1997, he won the Torpedo Factory
Artist of the Year Award. His works hang in many private and
corporate collections. He has maintained a studio at the Torpedo
Factory Art Center since 1984 and can be reached there most
days. For Price quotes, please call or email.
