Russell Gordon
Featured artist for February
Artist’s Reception Friday February 24th 5-8pm
The Wells Gallery
will host an Artist’s Reception for Russell Gordon on February 24thfrom
5:00 until 8:00. The gallery is always open to the public and we invite you to take
the time to see the masterful detail of this American painter.
Born in 1968, Russell Gordon received his
undergraduate and graduate art education at the Schuler School of Fine Arts in
Baltimore.Gordon's works evoke an old world feel but often
with a decidedly contemporary twist. These richly detailed and carefully
composed paintings reflect the Dutch Golden Era and Italian Renaissance
sensibilities, yet remind us that simple and natural beauty are timeless and
unchanged. Often combining layered symbolism and a subtle wit, Russell builds each
work with carefully applied layers of oil paint and a strong sense of light and
dark. Worked directly from life, the paintings invite the eye into windows of
alternate but convincing reality without hesitation or reluctance.
