There are artists who paint for love. Others create to cover the rent. For Carrie Russ, it’s a means of living and survival in a world that she sees as rushing towards an unknown future.
Born in Hastings on Hudson, New York, Rudd grew up immersed in the literary world. Her mother was an English teacher and encouraged her to write down her life experiences in a diary. Soon, abstract forms became her preferred method of articulating these introspective moments, which has since seen her navigate life through the materiality and psychology of art.
Each painting is episodic; a melting pot of childhood memory, adolescent discomfort, or the hurdles of adulthood. These junctions of life—tangling past, present and future—are represented through an abstract free-flowing application of oil paint; different stories adopt different forms, their conclusion unknown until the last stroke.
Colours clash and forms fight for space in a frame which provides an honest window into the mind of a young woman navigating the world we live in.
