About the Item
Russell Young is best known for compelling, larger-than-life silkscreen paintings appropriated from recent history and popular culture. Alluding to the great Pop artists of the past, he reinvents bold, sometimes brutal imagery while bearing witness to the ambition and glamorous excesses of twenty-first-century America.
With an unstoppable urge to launch his career, Young moved to London three weeks before his graduate show. This tough time, living rough on the Embankment and in a series of squats, with casual work in record shops and a tailoring business, was formative, developing his ideas about social inequality, popular culture, the music industry, fashion, and materials. The opportunity arose to assist the photographer Christos Raftopoulos, who introduced Young to fresh concepts of intense detail and light. He embarked on projects of his own, taking photographs at the live club shows of Bauhaus, REM, and The Smiths, which led on to magazine commissions and sessions for record companies. In 1986, he shot the sleeve imagery for George Michael's album Faith, which was to sell over 25 million copies. After this Young was launched into the limelight and produced portraits of such musicians as Morrissey, Björk, Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan and many sports and political celebrities. He diversified into music videos, directing 100 during the heyday of MTV. In 1992, he moved to Hollywood, where he met and married the actress Finola Hughes.
During the 1990s Young began looking beyond the limits of the photograph and started to paint seriously. In 1998 he relocated to New York, rented a studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and worked on a series of Combine Painting experiments, making assemblages of collage, found objects and street graffiti. His first solo exhibition, in Los Angeles in 2003, was an anti-celebrity series of Pig Portraits. Its uncomfortably large monochrome silkscreens, based on low-grade police booking photographs, record moments when the rich and famous fell foul of the law. However, in turning the tables on his former career they achieve a more penetrating beauty and iconic status. Established as a painter, Young, and his family moved back to the California coast, where he focused on 'action by reflection', developing ideas. The powerful, eclectic Fame+Shame series followed in 2005, documenting the fallout of cultural excess from the previous three decades - a gritty, Pop Art cocktail of America seen through the eyes of a marginalised immigrant from northern England.
Young began to use diamond dust in 2007, pressing crystals into paintings he called >Dirty Pretty Things. He was drawn to the opulence of the light shimmering off the multi-faceted glass, the famous faces lost in abstract flickers of light only to re-emerge. His American Envy paintings (2009) revisit the country's counterculture but go deeper into a vortex of rebellion, hope, violence, and madness.
In 2010 Young was struck down by swine flu with severe complications. In a coma for eight days, he was not expected to survive. After a lengthy stay in hospital, he emerged from this near-death experience; during the process of recovery, he explored the effects of trauma on both the individual and the cultural psyche. 2011 saw a seminal shift in his work, embracing a more visceral artistic process Young produced the magnificent Helter Skelter series.
Young's artistic output embraces painting, screenprinting, sculpture, installations, and film. Most important to him are the titles, the crops, and the progression from darkness to light, reflecting his transition from painful early years in northern England to warmth, growth and fulfilled potential under the sunny skies of America. As his art evolves, the darks become darker, the lights bigger and brighter.
In January 2016 Young and Hughes received the Spirit of Elysium award from Dame Vivienne Westwood and Andreas Kronthaler in recognition of their charitable enterprises using art as a catalyst for social change. Young's work is represented in the collections of the Polk Museum of Art in Florida, the Albertina Museum in Vienna, the Istanbul Museum of Modern Art, the Saatchi Collection, Barack Obama, the Qatari royal family, Liz Taylor, Kate Moss, David Bowie, and Brad Pitt. Young has exhibited in museums and galleries in London, Paris, Vienna, Berlin, Tokyo, Singapore, New York, Detroit, Miami, and Los Angeles.
In late 2018, Superstar, a landmark retrospective of Young's work, opened at Modern Art Museum, Shanghai, allowing his audience to reflect on the development of a remarkable body of work spanning almost two decades of practice. Russell Young was the first American contemporary artists to ever be exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, Shanghai, with his work being met with critical acclaim by its Chinese audience as well as the rest of the world with over 15,000 visitors viewing the exhibition in the opening week.
Due to demand, multiple events where organised by the Museum of Modern Art, Shanghai for Superstar. This included a private guided tour by the artist, a one-off silkscreen printing workshop, and private talks given to students of the prestigious Donghua and Tongji Universities where Young was able to meet and inspire a future generation of Chinese artists.

Russell Young
Russell Young’s alluring, larger-than-life portraits of iconic cultural figures explore both glamorous American mythologies and their dark underbellies of crime, addiction, and death. His silkscreen paintings portray celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, and Kurt Cobain; the artist recontextualizes their iconic appearances in high-contrast palettes, often interweaving them with diamond dust to heighten their glittery, sensual allure. In other works, shellac drips and smears in a visceral, wound-like manner. Young has exhibited in New York, London, Paris, Shanghai, Vienna, and Los Angeles. His work belongs in the collections of the Albertina Museum, the Cornell Art Museum, the Saatchi Collection, and the White House Collection. Celebrities including Brad Pitt, Elizabeth Taylor, and Kanye West have all bought his work. Young has also directed music videos, and in recent years, Dutch Golden Age paintings of flowers have become a frequent motif.

WINNIE DENKER - Diamond Eiffel Tower Light Box
By WINNIE DENKER
Located in PARIS, FR
Information: Winnie is a Danish photographer born in 1938. She is one of the most acclaimed photographers of her long career.
One day she was asked by UNESCO to take pictures of World Heritage Sites. Since then, her main interests became architecture, museums, historic sites, and urban landscapes.
Winnie’s technique is quite special. She assembles her photographs with leds, making meticulous light boxes. To make the boxes so special, the LEDs are placed in very precise places by hand. A work of craftsmanship that only insiders can appreciate. The manufacture of a single box light can take several weeks, due to the meticulousness of the work on the light which must reproduce the vision of the artist.
Winnie moved to New York in 1975, when her photos were published in prestigious magazines such as Vogue and Elle.Her voyage to also gave rise to her first photographic book, published under the title "The Library of Nation USA "3. The artist's first published works include "Women's wear Daily" and "House and Gardens".
In 1986, for the Eiffel Tower's centenary, the lighting design was entrusted to her friend Pierre Bideau. From then on, the photographer devoted a decade to the project, publishing three books featuring photos of the Iron Lady of Paris. It would be impossible to take these photos today, due to security measures.During this period, Winnie collaborated extensively with Françoise Sagan, who wrote the preface to the artist's book dedicated to the Eiffel Tower, giving it the title "La sentinelle de Paris" ("The Sentinel of Paris").
In 1992, Winnie takes wonderful photographs of the State Hermitage Museum of St Petersburg. The photos become so famous that the Museum asked to showcase her photos. This exhibition has been permanent since 1992.
Today, Winnie is the author of 6 books...
