Statement about the artist, Russell Beighton.

The possibilities of paint as a building and constructive medium are ongoing concerns in Russell Beighton's practice. Sculpture and object hood merge with the messiness of paint, exploring the notion and concept of the painting as a living object-whereby a works process and history is evident in the object itself. The space behind the painting is of equal importance to the artist, engaging the viewer in a three-dimensional sculptural relationship rather than a frontal pictorial one.
