"After I studied Bryan's Harris painting, a spirit came to me, and it was Harris. He said 'Al, you do a great job with Pennsylvania Magazine, but when are you going to do a cover story on me?'" -Al Holliday, publisher Pennsylvania Magazine "Bryan Molloy's John Harris Project is an extensively-researched, beautifully-conceived work of artistic, historical, and literary significance."- Carrie Wissler-Thomas: Director, Art Association of Harrisburg "I read to the part about the Native Americans but couldn't read any further- so sad " -Tracey Edgerly Meloni: Writer, Harrisburg Magazine, various other publications; former Political Speechwriter in Boston during Ted Kennedy era; Stepmother of Christopher Meloni (Actor, Law&Order: SVU, 42, Superman, etc.) "Quite interesting." -Dauphin County Historical Society's John K. Robinson "Wow, your work is very impressive. I didn't know all that about John Harris." -WITF personality and PR specialist Nell McCormack Abom "A very interesting and useful compilation of materials and commentary on John Harris." -Premiere Harrisburg Historian and Penn State University Professor, Michael Barton From Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in the USA, a city mired in corruption and bankruptcy, plagued by racism, corruption, nepotism, oppressive Christianity, and a floundering NAZI legacy... comes an African-American and Native-American hero to save the day The Studio of Bryan Thomas Molloy presents the HarrisProject Showing the true history of this CentralPA region as the oasis of tolerance, shelter from persecution and center of global wealth and trade that it once was and may be again, the HarrisProject reintroduces these truths back into popular consciousness in glowing form with a re-creation of the most famous legend of the city's Founder, John Harris. Painted lavishly in oils in historic, genre-melding, technical virtuosity, and using custom made costumes and local craftsman, the six-foot wide panoramic scene features an actual descendant of John Harris posing as John Harris himself, and a former Broadway Dancer as the heroic rescuing Chief. Secret ancient historical information, celestial symbolism, and fantastic artistic technique, are delivered within the compositional arrangements and careful selection of colors and elements- including the use of the Lost Angles Process and Renaissance Pattern Echoing. The research phase alone took over six years of pouring intensively through historical records in many Universities and Museums throughout the world, and formed the foundation for the project. The final painting itself, took more than three years of meticulous patience and dedicated attention to detail and technique. The entire process of the HarrisProject spanned a triumph by the artist over multiple personal tragedies; including family deaths, a nervous breakdown, hospitalization, and a near-death experience; each instance being a terrifying threat to the completion of this elaborate work of art.
