Charvis Harrell is a painter from Macon, Georgia who now lives in rural Minnesota. His collection has been chosen for national juried competitions, university shows, and solo tours. He has works in the collection of several museums and the private collection of Barry Jenkins made on the set of “The Underground Railroad” and Black Hall Studios made on the set of “Lovecraft Country.” His works are represented internationally through Cabinet39 in Flanders, Belgium. In 2021, Harrell served as an artist-in-residence at the New York Mills Regional Cultural Center in Minnesota.
If there is any truth to the saying “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,” then the strength of Charvis Harrell’s art comes from an autoimmune disease called Sarcoidosis. A third generation Brick Mason, art became the vehicle to cope with the emasculated condition of losing both good health and a career.
