Benevolent Universe – The Art of Gus Harper

Awake
36″ x 30″

Reminiscent of masters like Diego Rivera and Georgia O’Keeffe, Gus Harper’s work is always highly original and heightened by a mystical sense of possibility. Gus has traveled widely around the world and his work has a symbolic and sometimes hallucinatory quality that crosses cultures.

Based in Santa Monica, Gus has had a run of successful gallery exhibitions and his work has been featured in numerous film and television shows including: Modern Family, The New Girl, Up All Night, and Dallas. In addition to his solo work, Gus has been involved with some interesting collaborations, perhaps most notably with LA’s own Gronk.

The gallery below features a cross-section of work from several of his recent shows and is accompanied by a great time lapse video that gives you an interesting look inside Gus’s technique, as he paints a piece composed of 40 smaller panels in his “Grid” series.
