Five Things About | Alex Russell Flint

Alex Russell Flint works in oil paint and charcoal, creating representational narrative pieces that feel grounded in classical technique while exploring distinctly modern moods, themes and subjects.

His scenes first appear calm, composed, almost serene, yet they carry a subtle tension. A feeling as if something unresolved is lingering beneath the surface.

Alongside exhibitions in London, Ireland and the United States, his work has appeared on the cover of The Secret History by author Donna Tartt and in publications including World of Interiors and Financial Times HTSI.

As the great-grandson of Sir William Russell Flint, he builds on a legacy of British figurative painting, while carving out a distinct voice of his own.
