Hugh Russel - A Retrospective from 1969 to Present

Taking place from Nov 18 - Dec 18, our new exhibition showcases the sculptures of Hugh Russel.

Hugh Russel is a renowned Canadian sculptor whose figurative bronzes can be found in collections around the world. He trained and worked in the field of commercial art, and now applies that rigorous discipline to his sculptor.

Hugh rightly calls himself a storyteller. All of his meticulously researched and beautifully crafted pieces are more than just perfect portrayals of a particular person or animal, they record instants in time. "I want to you to see the change in the horse's pace and feel the fatigue of the rider," says Hugh, "I want to capture the moment the dancer lifts his head just before he leaps."

The sculptor's extraordinary knowledge of anatomy and his empathy for his subject matter combine with spectacular results. His sense of humour and whimsy add another dimension to his smaller pieces, which are often representations of animals in motion, or fantastical creatures and mythical beings.
