Over the last few years I have been exploring portraiture through drawings of faces made in cardboard, using this as a basis to talk about a wide range of concerns. This drawing references an image from a piece of film I saw on social media. It has been a year of unforgiveable and horrific images.
Russell Herron (b.1967, UK) works primarily with pencil on paper, mostly drawing pieces of cardboard. His works have been selected for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, The Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize, The ING Discerning Eye, Wells Art Contemporary, The Derwent Art Prize and included in numerous gallery shows internationally. His work has been shown at London Art Fair as well as art fairs in Shanghai, Singapore, Hong Kong, New York and Berlin. His drawings are in many private collections throughout the world.
