Russell Pulford is an artist whose textured abstractions echo the meditative structure of colour field painting. His work explores the relationship between balance, saturation, and surface with a distinctively tactile approach. Russell’s compositions are built on bold, rectangular forms that nod to mid-century abstraction while pushing into new material territory. Thick, layered pigments—sometimes matte, sometimes glossy create tension between harmony and interruption, especially in his use of high-contrast palettes and exposed underpainting. His application varies from soft blends to dense impasto, giving each block a physical and emotional weight.
