Russell Stephenson

My work is created with loosely rendered and intuitively controlled marks, which simulate infinite illusionary environments.  These environments are based on personal experiences, internal places, and translating sound into visual occurrences.  I consider these works to be imaginary landscapes, occurrences, and atmospheres that are both created out of expressionism, while conversely leaning more towards systematic formulation.  My work is concerned with texture and perception as well as surface and color.  Overriding themes in my work involve a flawed or fallen nature, over saturation, the apocalyptic, and meditations on transcendence.
