Marcus Harvey
Iconic painting 'Myra', of child-murderer Myra Hindley was first exhibited at the Royal Academy in London in September 1997. The monumental monochrome painting was entirely composed from a childs handprints, and has been repeatedly used by the press in the coverage of the case.
Marcus Harvey
The Reflex Gallery is proud to present an exhibition of 13 paintings by Harvey, including 10 new works that have not been displayed before. This series of 'glass' paintings, a theme which the artist began exploring a decade ago, is inspired by themes of domesticity and voyeurism. Through the prism of a textured glass door, intimate acts and objects are partly obscured - a woman on the toilet, a lone toilet roll, a child in a batman outfit. Some of the works, featuring masks and clowns, add another layer of disguise to unravel; in others, a candle and a skull pay homage to the Dutch tradition of still life and vanitas painting - a surprise note of gravitas. The viewer, cast in the role of Peeping Tom, is encouraged to reread the image - which has in turn been warped both by the irregular patterned glass and the artist's own interpretation. It is a complex painterly experience - richer than the polished photo realist image at first suggests. 'The actual painting is in a sense mechanical transcription,' Harvey comments. 'The exciting part is the performance behind the door.'

Product of the People
Marcus Harvey created his first T-shirt in high school. Today, he's the founder and CEO of Portland Gear, one of the region's most respected apparel brands. But the entrepreneurial journey is never that simple. Refreshingly honest and relatable, Product of the People shares the true story behind the brand-where it came from, what inspired it, and how it developed along the way. Marcus was an insecure kid who knew nothing about art. He ruined his parents' carpet trying to print T-shirts. He got fired by a printing company. And his eventual triumph almost paralyzed him with panic attacks. In Product of the People, Marcus Harvey bares it all-the good, the bad, and the unexpected-proving that truth really is stranger than fiction, that community is our greatest strength, and that every failure can be a new step on the road to success.
The Pictorial World of the Child
This lavishly illustrated book gives a comprehensive and scholarly account of children's understanding and appreciation of art and their developing ability to produce their own pictures. It discusses the main influences on children's picture-making, and considers the intriguing question, does children's art follow the same pattern of development as the history of art? As well as discussing the artistic development of typically developing children, the book also includes a discussion of children with intellectual disabilities and those with a talent for art, some of whom are children with autism.
