Jim Harris` main focus is on the tension between brushstrokes on a two-dimensional surface and the resulting picture. Consequently, he defines himself as a formalist. Jim Harris is a painter interested not in content or motifs, but in the process of painting.

To underline this independence from subject matter, the show centres on sand pictures painted early in 2006 at a sand pit. The way he treats the paint on the canvas matches the way the diggers scoop up the sand and pile it somewhere else. Very thin layers where the canvas remains visible stand alongside thickly applied areas where the paint is pushed together. From this seemingly monochrome material, Harris uses the play of light and dark to obtain a riot of colour.
