Jim
Russell
Drawing and Painting
“My work channels the photographic authority, nostalgia and the graphic power of black and white images in order to ask critical questions about media, relationships, power and Canadian identity. I have expressed some of these through my various series presented here, "Ahead By A Century", "Fighting Myself", "Meetings", and "The Climate of Untruth".”
Jim Russell is a Toronto based artist and martial artist working mainly as a painter. Jim has created several series with a focus on, media, relationships, power and Canadian identity. His largest series, "Ahead by A Century" examines the evolution of Canadian identity since the centennial celebration EXPO 67.
