“My artwork has now become beautifully independent, detached and free from the artist and the rigid strangling necessity of the conscious, where we have to control and push our work into a planned and pre determined path. I just add those whispers of control to tame the piece when it reaches its completion. But now the trick is to continually grant the hand and artwork total freedom so that it can take on that form and direction of its own. A trick I will hopefully always be able to do!”

“Shapes mould and move like a giant on the landscape looking for somewhere to sit. Until she finds it no place will feel like home, as the dove sets sail on its journey. With seas to cross and storms to find. But as the wings grow heavy fate delivers an angel to carry her to where once she dreamed of being tucked into a giants pocket for safety.”

ARTWORK INFORMATION - Russell works in free association to create his images. The method is a similar to how Henry Moore sculpted. You start painting or sketching and have no pre set finished aesthetic in mind, you grow and evolve the image outwards until it reaches its conclusion and because it evolves and unfolds in front of the artist devout of a pre conceived subject matter then the ‘subject matter’ becomes the subconscious, and therefor falls into the category of Surrealism. This was a ‘style of art developed principally in the 20th century, stressing the subconscious or nonrational significance of imagery, arrived at by automatism or the exploitation of chance effects, and unexpected juxtapositions in order to include unconscious and dream elements.’ For a video explanation please click the BBC feature below.
