Gregor Harvie

I use my creative practice to push the boundaries of understanding, tackling the most complex and fundamental questions of our time. I am academically trained to the highest level in art, architecture and science, and harness the power of thought experiments, visualisations and material expression to create bodies of work that are both seductive images and rigorous investigations of my subject.

In my current work, I am considering society’s reliance on physics to uncover the mysteries of the universe, arguing that we also need a leap of imagination. My paintings take some of the most fascinating ideas from physics and from those, conceive visual expressions of fundamental structures that might reveal an underlying truth to the nature of the universe. I am supported in my work by the Quantum Theory Group at the University of Glasgow, who are helping me understand current thinking about physics and offering a sounding board for the ideas I am developing.
