Russ Coleman

Russ Coleman uses the skills and practices he learned as a Monumental Mason and letter carver combined with his experience in the construction industry to create works that celebrate the world around us. After ten years of craft and graft, Russ studied Fine art in Kingston upon Hull in the early 1990s and has created public artworks all over the United Kingdom for the past 25 years.

His latest works extend a long tradition of British sculpture combining humanity and landscape. Russ’s return to stone as an expressive medium has produced a set of works that are as rich as they are simple. They are a quite contemplation of geological time and the brevity of life.
