Russell Baron’s art is his unique and exquisite visual expression of the range of human emotions, taken beyond the range of normal perception. His devotion to his art keeps pace with his ever-expanding realization of what he can express through his art. It provides him with the freedom to explore, juxtapose, confront, reveal, and conceal. Russell is a natural scholar of the human spirit. The complex undertones in his forms gracefully subtle and at times visceral and arresting reveal his scholarly interest in science, mythology and esotericism. He is an inveterate explorer of the underlying unity within all life diversity. Russell works primarily with bronze and terra cotta. "It links me to the ancestors, " he says. His prairie roots in Saskatchewan form the core of his artistic expression. "It was a profound spiritual experience of attunement to the rhythms and cycles of life in that unique part of the world."
