Russell is honored to be profiled in the chapter “The Artist” in Chef James Haller’s new book “I grew to love and respect Russ’ devotion to the divinity of Eros. I came to admire his ability to be a friend to people, no matter what their inclinations. Over the years, I have seen dozens of his sculptures and paintings, each one creating something to contemplate, allowing you to make your own decisions about their meaning. Russ’ paintings are filled with enchantment, mystic colors and sensual motion that makes me think of wandering Asia Minor and drinking strong sweet coffee with somebody beautiful.” ~ James Haller, At the End of Ceres Street: a chef’s salute to Portsmouth, NH Great Life Press, Rye NH 2021, edited by John Byrne.

Russell Aharonian's art is a form inspired over a 50-year period -- originally by the masters Bosch, Breughel and Van Eyck, as were other surrealists -- and by the brilliant language of the abstract-expressionists -- but mostly by life itself: the passions, the sensations, the mysteries, and the humor of the human condition. Russ works with the spontaneity of digital graphics, the sensuality of oil and acrylic painting and the simplicity of sculpture... and weaves his colorful imprint into biomorphic expressions. Russ is available for abstract family and individual portraits. He also creates artwork for motorcycles and helmets. |
