Paul Russell

Paul G. Russell, born in Toronto, Canada, is a multi-media artist. His cross-disciplinary practice includes painting, photography, stage, film and the written word.
His interests are drawn to the combined subject matter of grounded history, urban growth and time capture from 20th century art.
He is also drawn to the imagery in word and picture of the traditional 'Canadien Errant" that suggests such figures as Etienne Brule and Tom Thomson.

B.A. (Hon.) & M.A., University of Toronto).
Paul Russell attended studio classes on the Toronto campus with instruction from Canadian artists Will Ogilvie and Aba Bayefsky. Continuing his studies in London on an Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation grant, he assessed the stylistic eccentricities of Neapolitan Baroque Staircases at the Courtauld Institute with art historian Anthony Blunt and was mentored in oil painting at St. Martins School of Art, then at Sir John Cass College, by Royal Academy member Adrian Bury and artist/commentator Alan Jarvis.
