THE ARTIST
HARRY MCIVOR
A MASTER OF COLOURFUL, DYNAMIC AND EXUBERANT ABSTRACT ART.

Harry’s work has always turned on colour, how it shifts, settles, and finds its own rhythm. Since student days at the Royal College of Art he spent years in technical illustration, invention and consumer product design, disciplines that sharpened his eye for structure and precision. Those years eventually opened the door to his large colour-field paintings, broad blocks of pigment laid down with a steady hand and a generous brush, the surfaces built slowly until they feel almost architectural. These canvases carry the energy of lived experience, decades of making, refining, and paying attention to the world’s quieter colours. Even away from the stripe works he's best known for, Harry’s colour fields belong to the same conversation, movement, balance, and the simple pleasure of seeing colour hold its ground. The broad blocks and brushed planes often echo the loose grid-rhythms of Stanley Whitney, and the pared-back clarity you find in Ellsworth Kelly’s best work. But the mood is very much Harry’s own.
