Russ Chester’s current project ‘Chwilio am Gymru’ – ‘Looking for Wales’ explores the culture, heritage, environment, conservation and the working landscape seen through the eyes of his community. ‘Looking for Wales’ is the result of some quite intense work and research, and features subject matter that some may find curious, unexpected or quite baffling. Russ says ‘My interest continues into how people perceive and interpret ‘detail’; and I’m constantly playing with various textures, techniques and colours to exploit these preconceptions’. Russ Chester is an internationally selling artist and his work is held in private collections around the world. He has received commissions from Canada, France, New Zealand and Norway, and exhibits his work in galleries in London, Cardiff and North Wales. He also undertakes workshops with schools for primary, secondary, ‘O’ & ‘A’ level students.
