Doug Harvey (artist)


Doug Harvey is an artist, curator and writer based in Los Angeles. For 15 years he was a freelance arts writer for LA Weekly and during his tenure there was considered “one of the most important voices on art in the city” by editor Tom Christie. He departed his position there in 2010 in part because of a dispute about the tone of his review of a William Eggleston exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Harvey's work involves painting, collage, found objects and sound art. He has an ongoing series related to a set of found moldy 35mm slides and has exhibited throughout Los Angeles at art spaces including Jancar Gallery, Los Angeles Valley College Art Gallery. He received his MFA from UCLA in 1994 and teaches Art History at West Los Angeles College.
