How long until everything becomes toxic will we save ourselves?

The works themselves mirror Charlie’s state of mind in that they have fun and colourful designs. His more recent works focusing on ideas of the future of humanity and space exploration. Harney’s work has developed vastly from what it was two years ago. Before it was based on geometric patterns, simple yet beautiful black and white figurative works. His new work reveals a thought process that can’t quite be put into words. Only by drawing or painting is it possible to sum up what he is trying to convey.

Alongside these deep thoughts, Charlie also creates works which are a homage to his favourite actors and pop culture icons. Such as mark Wahlberg who now holds one of Charlie’s works in his private collection.

Harney is what some may call an artist with no artistic reference. However others would say that his reference is life, love and the mysteries of creation.
