About

George E. Russell (1933-2016) is a Canadian artist known for his hexagonal paintings filled with geometric shapes and pure colours. Often associated with Op-Art, aesthetically related to Quebec painters Les Plasticiens, George E. Russell developed an artistic approach in which both geometric abstraction and spontaneous expression merge. In his signature hexagonal format, he created many series of serigraphs, watercolours and canvases that are abstract, inspired by the artistic movements in his adopted land of Quebec, as well as filled with the wide open spaces of his birthplace, Saskatchewan.
