BRITISH-AMERICAN
Russell Young is a renowned British-American contemporary artist celebrated for his striking and evocative photographic silkscreens. Initially rising to fame as a celebrity photographer, Young’s work captures the intersection of fame, beauty, and the darker edges of cultural identity. His career took a pivotal turn as he transitioned into fine art, using his iconic style to challenge societal norms and explore the fragility of fame and power. He says:
"I create because the world is a symphony of contrasts—light and shadow, joy and tragedy, beauty and destruction. Through my work, I aim to capture those fleeting moments where reality and illusion blur. Art is not simply an aesthetic pursuit; it’s a visceral need to connect with the humanity that lies beneath the glittering surface. In a world so often driven by fleeting trends, art remains my constant, my oxygen."
