| Artist Intro |
"Pig Portraits" |
| Artist name / Photographer |
Russell Young
|
"Pig Portraits is about the glamour in the dark side of crime,fame,sex,drugs and rock and roll.
My method of working is to search, destroy and create. The images of this series have been collected from newspaper cuttings, e-bay, long correspondence with police departments throughout the world or even given by celebrities themselves.
The idea to create 'anti-celebrity' portraits was probably a reaction to my former career as a celebrity photographer. These images stripped of the usual vanitys of production and celebrity have an attitude and a raw beauty that is hard to ignore."
My art is a sort of soundtrack to my life, loves experiences and influences."
