'Steven Harrison also displays an ambivalence toward high and low culture alike in his text-based paintings, piling up apparently unrelated words, listing stock phrases, and inviting viewers to accept his winking interpretation of a rubbish, Magritte-referencing painting of a lemon, delivered in uproariously florid art-speak.'

'Several works echo the realities of student life with disarming frankness. In particular, I liked Steven Harrison's painted relief Thirty Seven Things I Encountered at Art School. The list begins with Rubbish, Sex and Laughter and ends with Worries and Dust. Nice Art makes an entry half way down.'
