Harry Underwood , better known simply as “Harry,” has carved a singular niche for himself in Nashville and surrounding art communities. He was born and raised in the farming community of Homestead, Fla. Prior to settling in Nashville, Harry lived and worked in Miami and New Orleans. A self-taught artist, his work reads like a Polaroid image wrapped in a dime store candy wrapper. His characters are sometimes happy, sometimes haunting. The landscapes, like movie sets, isolate the characters into surreal moments presented in snapshot form. Dubbed “contemporary, educated folk art,” Harry’s nostalgic palette, and narrative style has attracted collectors and artists such as Sheryl Crow, Bill Bennett, president of Warner Bros. Records, Michelle Branch and renowned artist Michael Kalish to name a few. His work currently hangs in many private collections around the U.S. as well as several prominent galleries. Harry is represented by Estel Gallery in Nashville.
