Walking Through Fame With Russell Young

August 2025 — Taglialatella Galleries has worked with Russell Young for many years, showcasing the internationally renowned British-American artist whose bold, diamond-dusted silkscreens of cultural icons have captivated audiences worldwide. Best known for his striking portraits of Hollywood legends, Young reimagines glamour through a lens that is both reverent and rebellious, blending pop art influences with gritty contemporary edge.

Raised in northern England, his early fascination with American cinema shaped a career rooted in fame and cultural memory. After gaining recognition in the 1980s as a photographer of stars like George Michael, Bob Dylan, and Diana Ross, he turned to screen printing—transforming iconic photographs into luminous, tactile works layered with vivid inks and diamond dust.

More than portraits, Young’s works meditate on how society remembers and idolizes its icons, balancing the glitter of celebrity with the weight of cultural reflection.
