Bobbie Russon

Bobbie Russon was born in Birmingham in 1966.
She studied at the Bourneville School of Art in Birmingham and at St. Martins School of Art in London.
In 1990 graduated from the Royal College of Art in London.

Bobbie Russon presents in her artworks the most daring representations of young female figures in dark and precarious spaces. The face expressions and the body movements of her human figures immediately creates feelings of loss, loneliness and strange timidity, which touch our most deep emotions .

In the simplicity of the expressions of her human figures, the inert posture of the pets and dolls that accompany them, the contours of shadows and intimate perspectives, we can found a strength and a complexity that generates mixed feelings from compassion to the fear of being confronted with the existence of a society that consumes childhood innocence and denies them happiness.

Since 1987 Bobbie Russon participates in many collective exhibitions across UK. She also held some solo exhibitions and several participations in international art fairs, attendance limited by the growing demand of her artworks, already with waiting lists, which she can not keep up in terms of artistic production.
