A Spring Artistic Soirée at Harvey Nichols Bristol

On Friday 12 May, the latest collection by respected artist Eric Haacht will be unveiled at the Second Floor Restaurant, Harvey Nichols Bristol. The event is part of a series of art focused events, hosted by Harvey Nichols and curated by Fluorescent Smogg.

The launch dinner will include a welcome cocktail paired with a canapé, followed by a bespoke three-course menu, while Eric Haacht discusses the artworks within the show and the concept behind his work. After dinner guests will have the opportunity to meet Eric Haacht, whilst also enjoying live DJ sessions.

Eric Haacht, who is represented by Smithson Gallery, is a self-taught artist hailing from the Southwest of England. His expressive paintings fall into the realm of portraiture yet remain ambiguous, features only emerging unintentionally through his swirling brush strokes and enfolding vivid colours.  He describes his works as like diary entries, a repetitive daily process through which he captures certain moods or emotions. The production of “Subject” will be showcasing at Harvey Nichols Bristol following the launch.

There will be an exclusive edition available on the evening of the event along with the opportunity to purchase items within the show prior to general release. 

The Spring Artistic Soirée will take place from 7pm – Midnight at the Second Floor Restaurant on Friday 12 May. The following ticket options are available along with a wine pairing upgrade:

General Ticket, £50:  Cocktail & Canapé, 3 Course Dinner and After Dinner Soiree

VIP Ticket: £150 – Cocktail & Canapé, 3 Course Dinner, After Dinner Soiree, Eric Haacht exclusive print and Fluorescent Smogg x Harvey Nichols exclusive gift bag
