Harkrader is a mixed-media painter drawn to both philosophy and experimentation. In 2003 his life took a major shift when he transitioned to from strictly representational pieces into abstract art. Along with 17 other artists in a multi-studio environment, Harkrader began experimenting with a multitude of mediums and styles. Harkrader is known for working on several pieces at a time, both sculptural and 3D in nature. This multi-tasking approach allows him to research various techniques all at once, pushing the limits of his varied media. He especially enjoys examining the attributes of light, perspective, color, form, and movement. The painting below, from his Urban Series, captures all of these elements. Harkrader’s color choices and strong angular forms convey an industrial feeling, and gives a sense of depth. Movement is represented by sweeping curved lines.

The title of this painting is due to an image that mysteriously appeared/discovered on the canvas face in the form of an incredible eye (s). This feature was discovered only after a viewer in Harkrader's Studio pointed it out. The eyes are best seen in person and the canvas must be turned in a verticle postion to appreciate this feature...Dark Skinned Angel
