The works were re-created in oil paint on canvas from images I constructed on my iPhone. I usually took these photographs around my home in Florida, and then painted over them with different characters. These light creatures hang out with the dogs, or dance on the abandoned boat dock. I would sit outside alone by the water and create alien-like friends on a low-key cosmic tropical playground.

Gagosian is pleased to present Young Twitchy, an exhibition of new paintings by Harmony Korine.
Harmony Korine is a Miami-based filmmaker, photographer, and painter. Although he has been exhibiting his paintings since early adulthood, he is best known for producing controversial films that embody the disillusionment of youth among a broader sense of cultural and moral decline in 1990s America. Korine’s films such as Gummo (1997) and Kids (1995), which are renowned for their lack of linear structure and often feature unsettling or disturbing content, have since acquired cult status.
