GMG brings Felix's younger brother Pascal Harris into the fold for this exhibition, 'Brother Love'. The exhibition includes a photographic installation by Pascal Harris, five 2020 paintings by Felix Harris, and some mixed-media works - photographs by Pascal Harris and Hayley Theyers, painted on by Felix.

Felix Harris was born in Dunedin in 1978, the son of artists Jeffrey Harris and Joanna Paul. From an early age he loved to draw creatures from his imagination; it helped him to escape reality in what was a traumatic childhood. After graduating from The Elam School of Fine Arts in 2006, Felix moved to America in 2007 and worked at the Seattle Art Museum. He returned to New Zealand in 2009.

Pascal Harris was born into an artistic family, the youngest son of Jeffrey Harris and Joanna Margaret Paul. He studied music at Otago University and the Royal College of Music, London and has since been pursuing a career as a concert pianist and teacher. After graduating Pascal spent several years in Japan where he developed an additional passion for photography. He had his first solo show at Pico-Pico cafe in Tokyo in 2013 and since returning to New Zealand has participated in group shows as well as continuing to play concerts regularly. Pascal has released one CD of Schubert's Impromptus and has published one book about his mother - Light on Things.

Hayley Theyers is an Auckland-based photographic artist and will feature in a group exhibition at Photospace Gallery in May-June 2021.
