About the Art and the Artist.

Mark Harris’s art judges what is wrong without judging humanity.

‘Double Bill’

San Francisco, California-based artist MARK HARRIS has combined his passions for social justice, activism, and art making to create a unique visual vocabulary that he uses to engage his audience on some of the most critical issues facing society today.

Mark is a member of the 3.9 Art Collective based in San Francisco. The 3.9, as it is casually referenced, is an association of San Francisco-based African American artists, curators, and art writers. Founded by Nancy Cato, Rodney Ewing, Sirron Norris, William Rhodes, and Ron Moultrie Saunders just before the 2010 census, the group came together to draw attention to the city’s dwindling black population. The 3.9 took its name from a report published in the weekly newspaper, The San Francisco Bay View.
