Urban Art Association

New Artist... RuSo, by Ruso on Jun 16, 2008 22:20:58 GMT 1, Hey, so i started a thread on a recent series that i was playin about with but it didnt go down to well, so heres a proper introduction (nicked off my auction sabboteur page):

''Ruso is one of the youngest urban outsider artists on the scene. He's been showing promising talent of late and we think he may be one to watch. Here's a few words from Ruso himself ...

"At just sixteen I have had no proper art training, I stupidly didn’t even take it as a GCSE. I have only really been painting for just over a year now, but I am hugely passionate about it. After a brief stint in graffiti, I quickly turned to stenciling as not only did I prefer it, but also found it more enjoyable. A few weeks ago I exhibited my work for the first time in a small gallery in London, but I already have plans to submit to a group show in Melbourne this summer. As well as various cities across the south of England, I have painted in Berlin and New York, and have stickers up in Australia and America. I just love to experiment with all mediums, and have recently combined stencils with watercolors, acrylic, emulsion and oil paints as well as the tradition aerosol…
I don’t have any major plans with my art, but who knows what the future holds!"
