Painting on Aluminum featuring Scott Harris Art Source Fine Art July 28 – August 28 www.artsourcefineart.com Greensboro artist Scott Harris plays with the dichotomy of a warm, inviting scene on a cold, industrial surface. The aluminum lends itself well to water and reflection, and one of Harris’ favorite things to look at and of course to paint, is a wet street at night. His enjoyment of the movement and color in the light and the shimmer of the road and sky playing against each other come through in the pieces in the exhibition.
