Feast of the Unknown – Original Alien Acrylic Painting by Jackie Harris

Step into a world that blurs the line between menace and innocence. Feast of the Unknown is a large-scale acrylic painting (30”x40”) by surrealist artist Jackie Harris, inviting viewers into a scene both alien and strangely familiar.

The composition centers around a striking pool of luminous blue liquid, set against a green floor inside what feels like a chamber on another planet—or perhaps a spaceship. From this pool emerge three enigmatic beings, each distinct in presence and energy:

• On the left, a red entity leans forward, mid-bite, consumed by its mysterious meal.

• In the center, a larger figure dominates, its menacing bloodshot eyes and jagged teeth bared in an expression that could be rage…or perhaps laughter. With its outstretched arms spanning the pool’s edge, it embodies both danger and command.

• To the right, a grey-green form stares outward with fiery red eyes, its gaze burning through the canvas.

Behind them, three circular windows break up the dark, brick-patterned wall. Through these portals we glimpse something stranger still: writhing tentacles pushing into the chamber, an ambiguous organic mass or space beyond, and a watchful squid-like eye peering inward. Are these invaders? Observers? Guardians?

Rich layers of blacks, blues, and greens create depth and atmosphere, while bold reds inject urgency and unease. The scene is surreal yet oddly childlike, echoing the way humanity projects fear and morality onto the unknown. These beings may appear monstrous through human eyes—but what if their world tells another story?

Jackie Harris captures that duality masterfully. Her art often questions perspective, showing us that beauty and terror are often two sides of the same coin. Feast of the Unknown is not just a painting; it’s an experience, an invitation to linger in discomfort, curiosity, and wonder.

This one-of-a-kind original is perfect for collectors who seek statement pieces with narrative depth. Measuring 30”x40”, it commands presence in any space—whether displayed in a contemporary home, luxury loft, or curated gallery collection.
