About

Statement

Russell is a York based artist and printmaker working mainly in monoprints, collagraphs, and collage.

His work is characterised by strong elements of pattern and colour.

Some work is purely abstract, exploring shapes and colours through handmade printmaking.    

Other work is research based, either responding to a current issue or inspired by walking and observing places, creating and visualising small data sets to record his own presence and experience of a place, the data forming the basis for shapes and patterns in the final work.

He is a member of York Printmakers.
