The Solar Discs
The Solar discs are direct references to established archaeological finds. The idea of the sun as a form of deity has been represented in cultures ranging from the Neolithic through Egyptian and Greek periods to its continued use today. The disc acting as a form of codified, calendric wheel of prediction, that is both a cosmological instrument of measurement and a receptacle of meaning of lore and knowledge.
The discs also relate to the constructional form of wooden slatted, warriors shields, with the central circular space where the protective shield boss would be. The surfaces are incised, chiselled and drilled to suggest the weathered and aged patina of a rediscovered artefact, one that bears the marks of both its implied practical and mythic use and its constructional history. The aesthetic legacy of the Bi or Pi disc in China is also influential, where from Neolithic times punctured discs were carved, usually from Jade or soft stone. It is thought that there use was often ritualistic, being communication ‘portals’ used by Shamen to access the spirit world or ancestors/gods. The symbolism of the shield as a protector, a barrier, and as the carrier of insignia, as well as its obvious wheel like connotations, are aspects of the depth and diversity of associative responses to this work.

Russell Frampton
Russell Frampton is an artist, musician and filmmaker based in Devon, UK. As an undergraduate of Exeter Art College, he went on to gain his MA in fine art from Plymouth University where he now lectures in Digital Dance and Screendance Practice.
"[My] paintings refer to a diversity of textual elements drawn from such disparate fields as archaeology, history, climatology, geology, personal and folk memory and myth as well as more formal considerations such as color, composition, tone, texture, light and surface," says Frampton.
Through the intense application of gold combined with arcane symbology, layering, depth and shape, Frampton's latest collections have a quality of magical realism about them. The resulting work is somewhat reminiscent of a dream — it makes sense yet is not quite fully discernible, as though its expression is rooted in an unfamiliar language.
Frampton's work not only commands attention but offers in exchange the revelation of a secret passage between this world and another.
In 2019, LCA began supplying an international luxury French fashion house with multiple examples of Frampton's work. This continuing relationship is testament to its aesthetic quality, rich intrigue and technical integrity.

- Golden Lore 2 -contemporary mixed media collage gold black rectangular abstractBy Russell FramptonLocated in London, GBThis recent body of work is informed by my continuing research into the physical and metaphorical nature of archaeological artefacts and votive objects, allied to the referencing of the symbolic forms and materiality of alchemy. Central to this practical investigation has been the use of ‘gold’, and the qualities that the material, with its obvious chromatic and symbolic values, seems to possess. This has driven both the conceptual and pragmatic concerns within the evolution of this work. Gold is an alluring and complex symbol of many, often conflicting meanings, avarice, greed, wealth but also of purity and celebration, and has been used as the adornment of spiritual and religious iconography as a devotional act for millennia. The titles refer to connections I have made with the forms themselves, often when making a painting a word will emerge which acts as a form of poetic catalyst. ‘Parsival’ or Percivale/Peredur was the knight questing for the holy grail...Category
