Overview
THE FUGITIVES | JANE HARRIS at CLOSE Gallery Somerset

PV | 2-4pm 5 July 2025

Exhibition | 5 July - 2 August 2025

& By Appointment Throughout August

@ CLOSE Gallery, Hatch Beauchamp, Somerset TA3 6AE


 

 

CLOSE is honoured to present a solo exhibition celebrating the acclaimed artist Jane Harris (1956–2022). Made possible by the Estate of Jane Harris, this exhibition marks the first time her work will be shown and offered for sale under the stewardship of Freeny Yianni (founder of CLOSE Gallery) and Prue O’Day, on behalf of her husband Jiri Kratochvil and their son George Kratochvil.

Titled The Fugitives, the exhibition explores Harris’s engagement with transience—of perception, time, and form. This body of work exemplifies her masterful sense of rhythm and visual showmanship. Set against the rural backdrop of Somerset, the exhibition expands on her distinctive visual language, featuring paintings that seem to flicker and shift as the viewer moves around them. These works evoke a sense of fugitivity—not only in subject matter, but in the very act of seeing.

We look forward to seeing you.
