Beautiful book art by Georgia Russell

Here are some beautiful book art by Georgia Russell. I would love to own at least one of this wonderful pieces!





Georgia Russell  is a Scottish artist who slashes, cuts and dissects printed matter, transforming books, music scores, maps, newspapers and photographs. Russell has been represented by England & Co since she graduated from the Royal College of Art, and her numerous solo and group exhibitions with the gallery have led to her work being acquired by The Victoria and Albert Museum and lent to exhibitions in museums in Europe, Canada and the USA, most recently to the Museum of Art & Design, New York for Slash: Paper Under the Knife in 2009-10. Russell featured in the England & Co exhibitions Persistent Obsessions and The Map Is Not the Territory Revisited, and with the gallery at the Zoo Art Fair in 2009. Her exhibition at England & Co in May this year: Georgia Russell: Cutting Through Time, was her fifth solo exhibition with the Gallery. She has exhibited recently in Paris, with her work also featured at FIAC at the Grand Palais.
