The artist takes the well-known symbol of Marilyn Monroe, heightened with the glamourous layer of diamond powder, which he combines with his pop culture, and thereby creates a celebration of the power of the stars within Western culture. He adds saturated acrylic colours to the colour silk screens printed on canvas, which makes his motifs appear somewhat stronger and grainier. The Marilyn Monroe series includes seven different portrait shots, in most cases as a maximum edition of 10, as well as with different colour combinations: “Marilyn Goddess”, “Marilyn Crying”, “Marilyn Portrait”, “Marilyn Glamour”, “Marilyn Superstar”, “Marilyn Hope” and the present work “Marilyn Suicide” with the rare colour combination: gold and black.
Born in 1959 Russell Young began his artistic career as a photographer, after having studied graphic design, drawing and photography at Chester Art College and Exeter College of Art in England. He lived first in London, where he photographed the night life of musicians. In 1986 he received a commission for the cover of the iconic album “Faith” by George Michael, which would then lead to a focus on portrait photography of young celebrities and would take him to Los Angeles.
In the course of the 1990s Russell Young began to practise painting and moved to New York, since the hectic life of an editorial photographer no longer provided creative inspiration. In 2003 Russell Young received his first international recognition as a painter for his series “Pig Portraits”, which show police photos of the stars; then subsequently in 2012 for his series “Dirty Pretty Things”, in which he examined the phenomenon of the stars such as Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Curt Cobain, Brigitte Bardot, Barak Obama and James Dean.
