Nicky Carvell, who attends Royal Academy Schools in London, used the former boyband star as the inspiration behind her final project.
"I was obsessed with East 17. I grew up in Hemel Hempstead, but my dad used to drive me around Walthamstow looking for Brian. We never found him but we met this guy in a car park who claimed to be his mate," she told This Is London.
"He was the rebel. So my work is looking at him from a distance, more disenchanted."
Carvell added that she did not want Harvey to see her piece, called 'We Can All Admire All We See, But In The End We Can Only Choose One'. The artwork is on sale for £2,500.
"I'd hate that. I don't want to meet him. It would be a big let down," she said.
