Paul Harrison

Paul Harrison is a Senior Lecturer in Fine Art at the University of Wolverhampton's Faculty of Arts, Business and Social Sciences. Since 1993, he has collaborated with John Wood to create single-channel videos, multi-screen installations, sculptures, and drawings that explore the intersection of artistic labor, existential themes, and absurdist humor. Their works employ rigorous internal logic while embracing conceptual play and material experimentation.

• BA (Hons) Fine Art, Bath Spa University (1987–1990)

Their artistic practice examines the boundaries between inspiration and desperation through:

• Exuberant material inventions
• Subtle slapstick aesthetics
• Investigations of environmental tension
• Exploration of creative processes' emotional weight
• Blending of artistic and comedic influences

Key exhibition trends in their work include:

• Conceptual installations with kinetic elements
• Minimalist structures revealing creative struggles
• Temporal narratives in video art
• Material-based humor and irony
• Investigations of spatial logic
