Russell Young describes his
work as a soundtrack to
his life, loves, experiences
and influences. His method
of working is to search,
destroy and create. The
images he uses have been
collected from newspaper
cuttings, eBay, long
correspondence with police
departments throughout
the world - and some
have even been given by
celebrities themselves.
Russell Young has risen to become one of the most collected and sought-after artists of our
time. His work has been shown in London, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, Singapore, New York, Miami
and Los Angeles. His silkscreen paintings have acquired a huge and illustrious fan base -
Abby Rosen, the Gettys, David Hockney, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, David Bowie and
President Barack Obama all have examples of Russell’s works in their collections.
Russell Young was hired in 1986 to shoot the cover of George Michael’s album Faith, and this
piece was donated from the collection of The Goss-Michael Foundation.
