About:

Gerard Russo, a Melbourne-based contemporary artist, merges hands-on craftsmanship with the innovative spirit of modern visual art. His foundation in mark-making and then Fine Art at RMIT University laid the groundwork for his distinctive artistic journey. Gerard's signature medium, a fusion of mark-making, painting, etching, and strategic backlighting, challenges the conventional boundaries between sculpture and painting, positioning him as a part of Melbourne's flourishing contemporary art scene.

In his studio, based in the Dandenong Ranges in Victoria, Gerard skilfully blends industrial materials with sophisticated artistic techniques. This unique synthesis results in artworks that stand at the intersection of tactile craftsmanship and contemporary visual aesthetics. Each piece, illuminated to enhance its visual impact, is imbued with a sense of vitality, encouraging viewers to engage with the art on a profound level. Gerard's exploration of themes such as transience, gravity, and time is further articulated through the interplay of light and shadow across metallic surfaces, introducing a dynamic quality to his portfolio.

Gerard's approach to art commissions is characterised by both clarity and artistic integrity. Clients, drawn to the unique qualities of his work, have the opportunity to enhance their collections with works that promote Gerard's artistic trajectory.
