This magnificent 2026 original acrylic painting on board, entitled ‘Harvest Boss’, is a powerful and commanding contemporary work by the rising British artist Harry Charles Tim. The piece stands as a premier statement work from the artist’s highly acclaimed and signature 'Longhead' series.

In 'Harvest Boss', Tim masterfully explores themes of status, ancestral authority, and connection to the land. The portrait features a fiercely stylised, elongated male visage rendered in a sophisticated, low-profile palette of harvest golds, rich ochres, burnt sienna, and structural charcoal contours. Set against a deep, contrasting ground, the figure possesses an extraordinary, totemic presence. The dramatic elongation of the head directly references early 20th-century avant-garde mask portraiture and Cubist forms, reimagined with a gritty, modern British expressionist edge that feels entirely current and compelling.

Dealer’s Comments
"Correcting that date to 2026 changes the game entirely—this is Harry Charles Tim at the absolute peak of his contemporary powers. 'Harvest Boss' has a refined, heavy gravity that is utterly intoxicating. You can see the complete confidence in the line work here; the artist isn't experimenting with the sculptural possibilities of the elongated face anymore—he has entirely mastered them. The brushwork has a beautiful, muscular density, and the choice of those deep, earthy harvest tones gives the character a timeless, commanding authority. Following his immense commercial success at the Battersea Decorative Fair, where these large-scale portraits became immediate targets for international decorators, this painting stands out as a blue-chip investment piece. It has incredible 'wall power' and easily anchors a room."
