Aaron Harris (b. 1990, Antwerp, BE) is a Belgian artist living and working in Antwerp. His work is concerned with the relationship that people have, through memory and daily routine, with their immediate environment and their own body.

Paintings depicting architectural elements or utilitarian objects such as sinks, toilets, doors and windows reflect on individual and collective histories, games and stories. Other work show the human figure or body in an obscured or highly cropped fashion. This allows the mind of the viewer to engage, delve deeper, and surf the currents of personal interpretation within our shared, recollective experience.

The works are always based on existing images drawn from the artist’s own archive of self-made or sourced photographs. While the images sometimes lack further informative or narrative context, some titles refer to, or contradict, possible interpretations. This textual tag on the work can simply reference the imagery used, or allude to literature or music that Harris is engaged with in the studio.

Throughout 2025, Harris will be in residence at Boooooks Antwerp, complementing and alternating the space with new work. Planned openings are the Borger Nocturnes and Antwerp Art Weekend in May 2025. His work has been shown at Josilda da Conceição Gallery in Amsterdam (NL), Modka Beiroet in Zuthpen (NL), Clutch Gallery Chicago, Antwerp (BE) and Lichtekooi Artspace, Antwerp (BE). Harris studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp graduating with a MA in Graphic Design in 2012.
