We’ve been selling Russell’s work since 2009, following a tip off from a couple of friends who’d seen his debut show ‘Tales from a Park Bench’ in Camden.
Always a successful staple at Elphick’s, Russell’s attribution of emotions to animals has appealed to me and customers alike.
The thought provoking text evokes powerful emotions, which are often funny, touching and sometimes shocking.
His work combines illustration and collage with found ephemera, which is often housed in vintage frames.
The new works are available in-store at Columbia Road and a run of limited edition prints are available online.
