Artist's exhibition to showcase his journey from 'outsider' to 'master'

Local artist Steve Harrington-Ellsmore presents his exhibition "Phantasmagorical Experience" at Unity Art Studio in Andover, running from May 13 to June 7. The show traces his journey from a self-taught "outsider artist" to a formally trained practitioner, featuring surreal paintings, installations, and collages that have drawn comparisons to Bosch and Dali. Harrington-Ellsmore, who graduated from Winchester School of Art in 2006 with a degree in fine art sculpture, is known for vibrant collages and oil paintings that conjure dreamlike landscapes, often incorporating prominent figures for cultural commentary.
