Original artwork description:

"Northward – George Harrison" is a subdued and powerful portrait of the legendary musician and Beatles guitarist. This black and white drawing shows George Harrison in a moment of quiet contemplation, with his gaze turned upwards — as a symbol of his spiritual quest and deep inner world.

The artist captures not only the outward resemblance, but above all the essence of Harrison: a man who, after the worldwide success of The Beatles, increasingly focused on introspection, meditation and meaning. The subtle nuances in light and shadow, the soft texture of his hair and the penetrating gaze make this work a tribute to his quiet strength and characteristic mysticism.

The upward gaze raises questions: is he looking at something higher, something better, or is he looking for peace in a world full of noise? In doing so, this portrait also invites the viewer to stand still, reflect and look ‘northward’ for a moment.

The monochrome execution reinforces the timeless character of this work. It fits perfectly in a stylish interior where music, peace and art can meet.
