NY Studio Gallery
511 W 25th StNY Studio Gallery is pleased to invite you to Heidi Russell’s artist reception May 10th, 6 – 8 pm for her most recent Self Portrait project. In Self Portraits: Photography by Heidi Russell running May 3rd thru May 26th, the artist’s exploration of light links the psychological aspects of humanity to our physical environment.
Russell’s work at NY Studio Gallery reveals intrigue with subtle messages that are intensified by what she has coined “the language of light”. Her mysterious portraits often require a closer look: she is the shadow cast on an ancient stone carving, or the complex layered reflections in store windows, or the androgynous faces shining from a marble surface. Her self-portraits offer a secretive glimpse into the internal world through a rigorous examination of the external world. Ms. Russell trains a carefully observant eye on both worlds to uncover the unexpected through the surprising interplays between light, shadow, reflection and color.
Heidi Russell is a self-taught photographer and specializes in full-frame & non-manipulative work using existing lighting. Russell’s oeuvre and cultural interests have taken her to many countries, including participation in Cornell University-in-Rome Summer Program and Hellenic International Studies in the Arts, on Paros Island in Greece. In 2006 she was chosen to participate in the Hungarian Multicultural Center’s Artist Residency in Budapest and she was selected to exhibit work in the 8th International Festival of Artistic Photography held in Athens, Greece. Russell’s work has been exhibited in group exhibitions in New York City and internationally. This is her first solo Show in New York City.
