1. Taxi Driver (1976)

Johannes Kahrs. 93'09, 1997

Taxi Driver inspired a series of painted still which reflect set celluloid moments. Maybe unrecognisable as from the film but clearly displaying his masculinity and demeanour.

2. Friday the 13th (1980)


Peter Doig Canoe Lake, 1997

This painting was inspired by the last moments of the film. When the drama has subsided and the lone protagonist lies exhausted and safe in her canoe, until...

Edward Hopper- House by the Railroad.

Apparently this painting heavily influenced the design of the house used in the film.

4. Mean Creek (2004)

Helen Gillan- Just 5 more minuets, 2007

Inspired by the concept of children's innocence and naivity. That delicate line between fun and danger.
Cloaked bu unnaturaly dark water the children appear stranded, separated from one another with a new player entering from stage right...

5. What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993)


Helen Gillan- Whispers


Helen Gillan- Static Air



Helen Gillan- Escape to Paradise

Inspiration was taken directly from the film stills where the images were recreated to tell a story of their own, filled with a heavy oppressive air and an impending sense of foreboding.

6. The Third Man (1949)

Wim Griffith. Trial, 2007

With his work capturing the attitudes of the crime drama genre, emphasizing moral ambiguity and sexual intrigue. This series of Men in Suits is sure to leave you wondering, "Which one is the bad guy? "

12. Empire of the Sun (1987)


Tina Mammoser. Empire of The Sun

The challenge of the film paintings was trying to create a personal interpretations from another artist's images and vision. Many hours were spent viewing DVDs and making sketches of various still scenes to try and choose either the best moments to abstract or to choose various elements to combine into one painting.

A list for the artists out there...

Paintings that have been either directly or conceptually inspired by a cinema.
Recreating the image, memory or feeling from a movie still or scene into the new static media of paint, open for fresh interpretation.

Any suggestions or work of your own wishing to be added let me know. I'll add as I find.

Here is a link to a great list of some of the favourite painters of Harp:

Actually, "The House by the Railroad" was the INSPIRATION for the Bates House in the 1960 version of "Psycho", not inspired by the movie.
