Contemporary classicism
With a twist
Alex Russell Flint
Alex Russell Flint is a British artist specialising in representational narrative works in oil and charcoal.
Often set within or around L’Ancienne Ecole, his home in central France, ARF’s paintings have a stillness charged with an undercurrent of drama, and strike a pleasing balance between the classical and the contemporary.
Along with solo, joint and group shows in London, Ireland and the United States, and countless commissions, his artwork has been used for the front cover of Donna Tartt's 'Secret History' and his French home and studio featured in various interior design publications including Condé Nast's, 'World of Interiors' and the The Financial Times' 'HTSI' magazine.
Alex is represented by Arcadia Contemporary Gallery in Soho, New York and Catto Gallery, London.
He is the great-grandson of artist, Sir William Russell Flint.
