Russell Solomon was born into an artistic family, most notably his Grandfather, Lance Solomon. Under his tutelage Russell followed his passion and honed his drawing skills. After a life of drawing Russell discovered Wire as a three dimensional line and created his first wire Sculpture in 1989. Using wire as a medium for expression, for drawing, offered Solomon a new level of tangibility and engagement to his art. In 1996 he pursued a fulltime career as an artist, exhibiting extensively, exploring the possibilities of the medium and conducting workshops in schools and broader community around Australia. His work is represented in private and corporate collections worldwide.
