Christopher Harris, one of the exhibiting artists in the current Jamaican Intuitives exhibition, will be talking about his work.
Christopher Harris was born in 1974. He was one of the fourteen selected exhibitors in the prestigious Young Talent V Competition at the National Gallery of Jamaica in 2010. Encouraged to draw from an early age by his father, a farmer and a portraitist, Christopher’s work connects to his Ashanti forefathers.
Jamaican Intuitives is part of the official Jamaica55 celebrations.
