New Website

I have redone www.chrisrussellart.com and it is finally current with all my new artwork.

I have had a lot of great opportunities to paint in the past year and I finally got around to showing all the new work online.

With the new site, I will be keeping my portfolio up to date.

I will also be posting any news about shows and all on the website instead of this blog.

The exhibition presents works by European and American artists, and offers insights and reflections on the concept of the contemporary scene, landscape understood as external and internal, social or political, beyond the given nature, characterized by the presence of man and his work.
Watching a scene stops, as in a photograph, a geography personal and collective shows a here and a where a position in the things, places, and stresses the radius, the angle from which we decided to observe them, to try to understand them.
The show wants to be a hypothetical "lookout", a place where as during a walk we stop to look at a strategic point, at the top, for the pleasure of embracing his eyes around, to be silently present and the altogether.

Galleria Glance & Martin Art

Antico Borgo Monchiero

It is a bit surreal, I have moved to the hills of Italy for the summer. I am doing a four month long artists in residence at an old monastery that has been converted into a hotel. It was organized by an Italian arts organization called Martin. I am living with one other artist; she is a photo, mixed media artist from London. It should be a productive summer as the espresso is plentiful, and I don't have to fix other peoples bikes.
