This is probably my most complicated interior.. lots of hierarchies and objects to keep in order. I tried a few versions, some with more furniture, some very spare. I think the ones with more were more successful over all.

Visitor comments regarding this page (huh?)

Visitor comments are presented "as is" and do not necessarily reflect the opinions or the values of the museum.

If you register and login you can post comments. (huh?)

One of the perks of membership is that you get to post comments on objects, museums, and other member's walls. (Though some users have chosen to restrict access to their personal walls - in which case you'll have to friend them before you can post to their wall.)

Anybody can register - though you do have to be at least thirteen or older and have a working email address.

It doesn't cost anything to register. Just sign up and you'll be an insider in no time flat.

A very formal, detached and disturbing environment. There is a troublesome psychology going on in this room that desperately needs something human & maybe opposite to relax it from itself. I looked at some of your other work & feel a similar distance. Have you ever considered throwing a wrench into all this formality ? Imagine if there was a comic book on the couch in the foreground.

IMHO the feeling of claustrophobia is intense and this is one of Mr Harris’s only paintings I’ve seen that give this feeling. It has something to do with the position of the couches and the lack of space- and space is his forte. His open interiors are like some of the best portraits I’ve seen.

Theres something about a panting that gives this type of uneasy feeling that is strangely attractive after you get over that feeling. To me it has something to do with the lamp on the right, and the lamp of the same shape directly on the other side of the wall. Since its on the separate side, through the corridor, it looks like you seeing a mirror image.

Love all the portals from front to back. Beautiful painting, Kenny. I’ve been wondering what you have been doing since we worked together on your article.
Happy New Year!
