Howard Harris's Dimensional Fine Art for Holiday Interiors

DENVER, CO, UNITED STATES, November 1, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Howard Harris, a Denver, Colorado-based contemporary fine-art photographer and Techspressionist, is set to showcase his latest collection of dimensional fine art for the holiday season. Harris’s body of work combines photography, industrial design, and technology, creating a unique visual experience that transforms the way we perceive photographic images.

Harris’s artistic practice, which spans over 35 years, draws on his extensive background in design and technology. He earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Kansas City Art Institute and a Master of Industrial Design from Pratt Institute. His academic journey also included studies in economics and computer science at the University of Missouri and sublimation color research at Rochester Institute of Technology. This diverse educational background informs his approach to photographic art, considering not only the image itself but also the materials, structure, and presentation that shape the finished piece.

Harris’s portfolio includes a range of contemporary photographic art for collectors and interior design professionals. His collections span abstract imagery, landscapes, cityscapes, animals, and people, reflecting the diverse themes across his work. Each piece is presented in a unique format, whether as abstract compositions, dye-sublimation prints on aluminum, dimensional works, or framed Giclée prints. The Abstractions collection features works such as Columbine Dance, Forest Wave, Midcentury Modern, Mind Storm, Cosmic Inflation, Sunflower, and Skylight. These pieces explore abstract forms, color relationships, and visual structure through photography.

A distinctive part of Harris’s practice is his dimensional photography art. This involves a combination of dye-sublimation printing and a suspended acrylic layer, creating a physical depth that interacts with light. The photographic image is produced on an aluminum base, while a single acrylic layer is held above it by standoffs. A subtle grid forms part of the construction, and the space between the aluminum and acrylic creates a visual effect that changes as the viewer moves. The patented approach reflects Harris’s interest in connecting photographic imagery with industrial design and physical construction.

Harris’s dimensional works are a significant part of his portfolio. A piece measuring 36 by 30 inches can weigh approximately 20 to 25 pounds. Harris supplies a French cleat for more stable mounting, although a hanging wire is also attached to the artwork. Care is another consideration for owners of dimensional works. Harris recommends a mild, non-abrasive, non-ammonia glass cleaner, such as eyeglass lens cleaner or Novus #1 Plastic Cleaner, applied to a clean microfiber cloth or soft cotton. The cleaner should not be sprayed directly onto the surface. Dry or dirty clothes can cause scratches, and direct sunlight should be avoided because prolonged exposure can contribute to fading. Surface damage may not be repairable.

Harris’s portfolio includes several methods of presenting photographic imagery. Selected dimensional works combine a dye-sublimation aluminum base with a suspended acrylic layer. Other aluminum prints use dye-sublimation without the acrylic overlay, presenting the image directly on the aluminum base. His Giclée works use high-quality archival, acid-free paper mounted on board, with a separate framed presentation that includes a solid wood frame, clear acrylic protection, a kraft-paper dust cover, and hanging wire. These pieces do not use the dimensional layered construction.

The holiday season provides a timely context for considering photographic artwork for homes, interior design projects, and art collections. Harris’s portfolio brings together abstract compositions and recognizable subjects, with different presentation formats offering distinct material and display characteristics. The Abstractions collection sits alongside other bodies of work, including Paris & Giverny and Ferrara & Florence. These collections explore architecture, geometry, nature, color, and transformed visual forms. Together, they reflect the range of subjects and approaches within Harris’s contemporary fine-art practice.

For collectors and interior design professionals, the relationship between an artwork and its setting involves more than the image alone. Scale, materials, lighting, and mounting all influence its presentation. Harris’s work brings these considerations into a practice shaped by photography, visual perception, and industrial design.
