Russell Young: New York Grenades

Toronto Guardian interview's Taglialatella artist, Russell Young, before attending the official opening event of Taglialatella Galleries' new location in Toronto. 

Inspired by Warhol’s sense of coloration, Russell Young is unmatched in his ability to compose alluring renderings of figures who are emblematic of the qualities that initially attracted him to the art world. In his most recent series inspired by the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Audrey Hepburn’s portrait symbolizes formidable intelligence, timeless beauty and lavish glamour in one-of-a-kind “Tiffany Blue” and "New York White" pigments printed over acrylic backgrounds.
