Stories are about life. This is my Blog. Scroll down for the latest insights into my life and work. But first a word about stories.
Story telling is an innate human function. Stories are a distinctive feature of humanness in all known cultures. Ways of knowing, learning and remembering have always been most powerful through sharing stories.
Artists are storytellers. A picture can paint a thousand words but it helps to know the story behind the picture. In this post-modern world the cop out can be the art work means what ever I want it to mean. Art is what ever I, the consumer, want it to be. But art work is not created in the lived experience of the viewer. It is created in the lived life and vision of the works creator. Therefore to fully understand a work we need to drill down into the thoughts, life and times of an artist or we miss the richness available.



Fortunately for this generation we have a myriad of instant tools available to both record story and to access story. This page is the repository of my stories, my insights and my history. It is more than a blog, which can sometimes simply be a blurting out of everything no matter how trivial. The stories I tell use a wider variety of stories, video, video blogs, images, articles, reviews and musings that will enable you to get closer to understanding Russell McKane the artist but importantly the person who creates.
Web pages are a bit sterile as they have a more formal function. This is where you will get the inside and personal story. You will get excited about works in progress. Dare to dream about having one of these paintings bringing the environment into your own home. I hope you will be informed, entertained and inspired.
