EXHIBITION HISTORY-‘Distracting The Colour’ was Russell’s most recent solo exhibition which ran for 3 weeks at the gallery@oxo on London’s Embankment. The exhibition proudly raised £1000 for the charity ‘Beat Bullying’ with his latest artwork & photography being very well received with positive features on the BBC, financial times & from the many critics, bloggers and journalists that attended the private view evening. When the doors opened to the public the response was equally as positive. With over 2,500 people visiting the exhibition over two and a half weeks. The artist was ‘humbled by the response and effect the work seemed to have on people, & also how far or to what lengths people had gone to in visiting the exhibition.’
