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