“I’m a British artist who is fascinated by nature’s energy and how it sculpts our landscape. This is often best seen from an aerial view. Show best by a meandering river that’s carved it’s way over millions of years through the Grand Canyon. Or the way the water has sculpted our coast using growth alongside erosion and corrosion.
But how do I reflect this? I learnt (over much blood sweat, tears and time) that I have to grow the pieces. Rather than just paint them.
I am, have always been and will always be completely committed to my art. My artist cv (which I’ll get online soon) speaks for itself but my commitment is in the pursuit of my lifestyle always being based around generating time, space and a complete liberation of any creative shackles that would impair a creative direction I could move in at any second.”
I love the black and white. The simple shapes and free flowing direction. Im 19 now and I've been doing similar doodles for a few years now. I love just shutting the thought process part of my brain off to let the form create itself. This kind of work is amazing to me, it's inspiring to see others who enjoy this too, is there a specific reason you like using black and white so much? For me it's the simplicity and straightforwardness, being able to stop thinking about colour theory that I never learned and let go completely on the shapes and flow in greyscale.
Glad you liked it. Yeah it’s a lovely way to work and is fascinating of where it all comes from. As for the black and white exactly like you said. It avoids the thought process of choosing colours etc. Slows everything down and brake the flow.
-- Дилетантский результат - композиционно, пластически, формально-абстрактно и сюжетно 😖 С попыткой оправдать плохое рисование псевдо философизмами. Как метод это известный приём, но он должен базироваться на виртуозной технике, с хорошей рукой и ясным сознанием. Иначе получится вот такая такая пёстро-корявая чернуха. В теории автор прав - вылазит вся его раздрызганная суть и графическое неумение. Он как музыкант, не владеющий инструментом, пытается играть импровизационный джаз. Результат - какофония из корявых звуков; неуместныеи паузы, нарушенная тональность... Если в музыке наш наивный народ ещё слышит фальшь, то в изоискусстве с этим большой пробел в общем образовании. Чем и пользуются поп-шарлатаны, самозваные "художники", "стритартисты-граффитисты" и прочая попса, зарабатывая внимание, славу=деньги. У этого парня видны некоторые удачные места, но последняя композиция отвратная. Слова, расчитанные на глупцов, не спасают 😕
I'm really want to use my paintings for a photo essay for class and I need help starting to do that could u help me to where i am not completely telling my whole subconscious mind
Hi Vanessa, happy to help but unsure of your question. Is it that you only want to show part of your subconscious? Feel free to email me direct russellscottskinner@gmail.com
I really like the touch of colour in the last few of your works. It adds another dimension and when you target an area it gives us more opportunity to ‘read into’ a bit more. Isn’t that what it is all about........thanks!
@Russell Scott-Skinner Thank You! your art is an inspiration. and it's so fascinating the way artists like you create wonderful pieces of art from their subconscious mind! what a wonder that is. This video helped me further know about the nature of the subconscious mind, its role in art, and also helped me to further comprehend musicians like Sevdaliza and Björk (both are music geniuses, i recommend them if you don't know them already) who also go through the same process as you do with your paintings! Sending you love from Argentina <3
Cheers Gasper And I’m glad it helped. Yep I know both of those musicians and some really good friends of mine are musicians as the creative process is really similar. One comes out visually and one comes out auditory. Good to touch base. Have a good one. 👍🏻
Really interesting to see how you built this piece up. It has a feel of the wild and dark illustrations from arthur rackham, a touch of street art and the detail of stained glass constructions. Thanks for sharing
