Geometric Iconography:

The work in this show, most completed in the last half of 2011, presents Harley's essential geometric iconography: color, chiaroscuro, composition, rhythm and surface, all underscoring the basic language of painting. Introducing reflective elements such as glitter and metallic papers into both his paintings and collages, he also enjoys the challenge of using materials that are often thought of as "tacky or cheap" in a more formal context, allowing the viewer to "appreciate the inherent beauty of these less traditional materials."
