Russ is originally from Wolverhampton, having lived and worked in Dudley, West Midlands since 1992. As an abstract painter, Russ’ work seeks to explore themes of curiosity, our inner world (emotions, faith, uncertainty) and the defining experiences that shape who we are. Working primarily in acrylics, but also using collage, found objects and other mixed media, his bold, multi-layered, expressive work attempts to capture the tension between order and intuition, and the balance of precision and imperfection.
