About The Artwork

"She Walks In Beauty" is a significant addition to my new series of atmospheric landscape paintings. These artworks draw inspiration from the talented painters of the Romantic period. My intention is to evoke a sense of nostalgia while approaching the original masterpieces from a fresh and unique perspective. During my creative process, I delve into the popular paintings that adorned the walls of our home throughout my formative years. Artists such as Constable and Turner have had a profound influence on my work. Their ability to capture the captivating beauty of landscapes has left a lasting impact on the art world, and I aim to pay homage to their legacy. To convey a timeless quality in my paintings, I employ thin applications of paint. This technique allows viewers to forge a connection with the past while appreciating it through a contemporary lens. By combining this approach with modern mark making and processes, I strive to infuse the essence of both the past and the present into my artwork. The juxtaposition of traditional Romantic elements and contemporary artistic techniques creates a visual dialogue between different eras. This dialogue invites viewers to reflect on the allure of the past while engaging with it from a fresh and modern perspective. The resulting series of paintings aims to capture the essence of both the past and the present, evoking a sense of nostalgia while offering a contemporary interpretation. I am truly excited to witness the evolution of this series and see how successfully I can capture the essence of the past and present within my artwork. It promises to be a captivating exploration of the Romantics' influence on my artistic journey. I am grateful for your support and encouragement as I embark on this creative endeavor.

Simone Russell is a London based artist who creates atmospheric abstract landscape paintings. She trained at Glasgow School of Art. Alongside her art practice she has established a successful career in fashion and interiors. Simone is influenced by her surroundings and the emotional responses that arise. Themes include light, colour and sound. The inspiration for her most recent work derived from textiles she has collected throughout her life. The starting point for many of these paintings involved her resting the camera directly on to these fabrics. Simone wished to emphasise the importance of touch and contact. The resulting photographs were luminous abstract colour fields. The compositions that emerged evoked landscapes: the Northern Lights, seascapes, reflections in water. In a quest to capture the light in the photographs, she worked with thin skins of spray paint and used diluted oil paint. Experimenting with the opacity of each medium, in order to convey their subtlety and to allow previous surfaces to be seen. Layers are built over days, weeks, months - each one a snapshot in time. Simone’s hope is to create something beautiful from an amalgamation of all that has gone before. No coating is a failure, nothing is imperfect, every mark is a necessary part of the whole. The final artwork is richer because of the echo of what is beneath. Earlier this year she had her first solo exhibition at Willesden Gallery in London.
