SCAF Emerging Artists 2022 Exhibition Catalogue

RUSSELL HUGHES
York-based artist and printmaker
Russell is inspired by the characteristics of public and private
spaces in which we live our lives, particularly when considered
in the context of social and political issues.
His practice is analytical in nature, often involving creating
data to record experiences, for example by GPS recording of
movement or by measurement of surfaces and objects.
Printmaking is his primary media for exploring and developing
colour, shape and pattern generated from data and research.
Russell’s printmaking practice includes collagraphs, monoprints
and screenprints.
His work appears abstract but contains visual references to the
subject matter.
Russell left his previous career in 2015 to study the Access Art
course at York College followed by an MA in Creative Practice at
Leeds Arts University.
Russell has exhibited in group shows, print fairs and galleries.
In 2021 he was commissioned to produce artwork for the NHS
facility within York Community Stadium. He is a member of
York Printmakers.
