Rose Electra Harris

Rose Electra Harris (British, b. 1991) is a London-based printmaker and painter. 

Harris uses her work to explore interior space, utilizing both obscure and everyday objects to create vibrant, colorful still lifes. Fascinated by color, line, shape, texture, and pattern, Harris arranges objects—some from memory, some imagined, some collected over time—in her roomscapes, always in search of a balanced and harmonious composition.

To Harris, a room is an oasis, and the things within bring the space to life. She reimagines the colorful dialogue that exists between room and furnishings, as interested in the negative space between objects as she is in the items themselves. Harris does not portray objects exactly as they are; rather, she employs a singularly distorted, ever-so-slightly off-kilter perspective to depict the subjective emotional experience they invoke.

Harris earned a BA (Hons) in Fine Art from the University of Brighton in 2015. Since then, her work has been featured in exhibitions throughout the UK. The artist now works from her studio in south London.
