Born: 1948, Colchester, Essex, U.K.
Lives and works in New Castle, N.H, USA
Studied: London College of Printing.
Work: Harling is interested in the American scene and American cars, although his works are based on a more direct observation than the romanticised renditions painted by many other Hyperrealist artists, Harlings paintings have the foreign- eye effect. His paintings offer an angle of vision from which Americans would never see themselves. His urban landscapes hold a narrative quality which allows the viewer to escape from reality whilst imagining the situation at hand… Who is behind the wheel of that Cadillac?

'State Pier, Portsmouth, NH' oil on canvas, 61 x 91.5 cm
"Our lives are a journey through a changing landscape. These landscapes become associated with the emotions we experience as we pass through them. Some of these associations are so common that they become a language which can be universally understood. A ship departs at dawn, a car travels on a road at night, a solitary figure contemplates distant horizons at dusk; these are all images which have a resonance beyond the surface narrative, suggesting various emotions such as loss, hope or communion". - Simon Harling
