Russell Young
Silkscreen Print with Diamond Dust
67 x 54 in. / 170 x 137 cm.
Edition of 20, Signed by the Artist
Russel Young's giant silkscreen 'Marilyn' print imbued with diamond dust is a fitting homage to Hollywood's biggest star, Marilyn Monroe. Monroe rose to the height of her stardom in the 1950s and 60s as an iconic sex symbol. The photograph chosen by Young is one where she beckons forward to the viewer with her hand delicately placed on her décolletage. Her image sparkles head to toe in this print over 5 feet tall demonstrates her juggernaut status in pop culture.
Young has built a name for himself with his celebrity pop culture screen prints - capturing what it means to be famous and reach icon status while maintaining a sincerity at its core. Young's works have been exhibited globally including the Modern Art Museum Shanghai and the Multimedia Art Museum in Moscow.

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.
