Will Harman (b. 1996-) is based in London. He is currently studying an MA from the Royal College of Art and received a BA of Fine Art Painting at the University of Brighton. Harman has exhibited as a finalist in the Robert Walters Group - UK Young Artist of the Year Award 2019.

Humour is at the heart of Harman’s practice. His sharp observations capture a chaotic world in bright technicolour, and yet just beneath the bright surface lurks a distinctive horror, bravado and aggressive masculine pride. Detailing his canvases with pockets of bright colour, his satirical scenes, filled with stiff and awkward characters, both seem familiar and of the everyday. Drawing from his experiences, Harman’s narratives are based on his observations from the side lines, with a focus on collectives, constructions of masculinity and his own identity. Wryly exploring themes of Britishness, his paintings are a reflection of his upbringing and the people that surround him.

Harman’s first solo exhibition with Soka Art will be held in November 2023. It can be expected that the exhibition will be received with great attention and feedback.
