Ken Harris (1946-2022) RIP

Holography News® was saddened to learn of the passing of Ken Harris in Bellinzona, Switzerland on 18 January 2022.

Ken was born in Detroit, Michigan on 21 September 1946 but, by the early 1980s, had found his way to the UK, where he was creating art holograms from his studio in Chelsea – a fashionable district of London. During this period, he produced some great work, including ‘HoloMan’ which is in Jonathan Ross’ collection. He also made some large display holograms for the Hard Rock Cafe on Piccadilly.

He joined with John Brown and Steve McGrew in Light Impressions Europe and created sales promotion holograms, including the famous ‘Tony the Tiger’ series which were used by Kellogg’s across the world.
