Alex Russell

Alex Russell is a contemporary painter and printmaker. His practice balances systems with intuition, creating a stochastic space within which something mysterious and mercurial can be coaxed into being. His works are richly layered maps of their own making, joyfully celebrating colour, form and composition, and rewarding the viewer with ever-changing new interpretations. Originally a textile designer, Alex now exhibits and sells his art internationally. He lives and works in Manchester (UK).

A full range of paintings and prints are available to view in the gallery. Find out more about Alex’s practice here. If you are interested in commissioning work or want to get in touch, the contact details are here.
