Showcasing Postrevisionist Art

Jerome K. Harris III is the founder of a new school of thought, Postrevisionism. He created Postrevisionism in 2018 to synthesize an all encompassing unity that transcends premodernism, modernism, and postmodernism. He created new artforms through poetry, mixed-medium art, film, music, and essays to illustrate postrevisionism through different mediums. His introductory work on postrevisionism, Fragments of Light, was published by the UC Repository and the UCLA scholarly works database in 2020. The book includes poetry and artwork by Harris as well as a brief introduction to postrevisionism. 

 Harris began creating art at age 4. He made his first acrylic paintings at age 12, recreating Picasso's "Three Musicians" with original colors and composition, among other works during this period. Among the works was "Fleeting Forest", which was featured at San Antonio Academy and drew his first offer for purchase from a local art collector. In high school Harris became the president of the Art Club at his school and continued making works that ranged across different mediums. He won various awards for his art during this time. 

 Postrevisionist art is a new artform that's created through multiple stages and is defined by blending different mediums with premodernist realism, modernist abstract art, and postmodernist art and dadaism in various degrees. In the final stage it encompasses fragments of various forms synthesized by light, darkness, and ranges of color and/or gray scale, however each stage of the process results in completed works that can stand alone.
 

 Harris' goal in art is to show the unity of all things through the various found and integrated fragments that make up the diversity of life. Through all stages of life, be it grief, joy or otherwise, Harris purveys that the inherent order of experience is entwined in the concept that we are all one. 

He uses history, color, light and dark, grayscale, and various mixed mediums and styles within the framework of postrevisionism to create his work.

Harris grew up around photography. His parents owned and operated a photography studio from the time of his birth until after he graduated high school, and he was professionally capturing photographs by the time he was 14. He began working with his parents at age 12, and photography was a formative medium in his childhood and beyond. Elements of Harris' photography can be found in his postrevisionist work.

During his school years he studied under many artists including an artist who worked on Tony the Tiger and Rocky and Bullwinkle. He eventually moved to Los Angeles and continued his studies in art, finally majoring in Poetry at UCLA.

Harris is influenced by artists such as Pablo Picasso, J.M.W. (William) Turner, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Salvador Dali, Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock, Frida Kahlo, Georgia O'Keeffe,  Leonardo Da Vinci, Yayoi Kusama, Alex and Allison Grey, and others. 

History and the reinterpretation of it plays an important role in Harris' works. The synchronicities in world cultures and elements  from the past and present in South America, North America, Asia, Africa and every culture play an important role in Harris' works. He builds off fundamental unity and truth inherent in math, energy, science, language, art,  and empirical forms to show unity through dialectic conversion and a lens focused on illumination of the historical past and the divine.
