About

Simone Russell is a contemporary landscape artist based in London, celebrated for her evocative use of colour and texture. With a background in Printed Textiles from the esteemed Glasgow School of Art, she brings a unique perspective to her art, inviting viewers to engage with visually captivating compositions.

 

Currently, Simone is exploring a new series of atmospheric landscape paintings inspired by the Romantic period. The reproductions of Turner and Constable that graced her childhood home serve as a foundation for her artistic vision. Their ability to capture the sublime beauty of nature inspires her to honor their legacy through her own expression.

 

To convey a timeless quality, Simone employs a technique of thin oil paint applications, using brushes and pours to layer glazes. The layers in her work evoke profound emotion, inviting viewers to connect with their own treasured memories and experiences while appreciating the art through a contemporary lens.

 

The fusion of traditional elements with modern techniques results in a captivating narrative that encourages reflection on the beauty of nature. Through her work, Simone invites viewers on a journey through time, exploring emotion in an innovative and thought-provoking way.

My other life

Alongside my art practice I have co owned a successful retail business in London for 25 years.  Verandah began its journey in Notting Hill.  As the business expanded we moved to larger premises in Kensal Rise.  Owning shops put me at the heart of the community.  Meeting and building friendships with those people has been a constant source of nourishment.  Designing the looks for the shops, creating innovative window displays and curating products from all over the world has fine tuned my eye for colour and composition.
