Arcadia Contemporary is proud to present “Still, She Moves” a new solo exhibition by British artist
Alex Russell Flint. Featuring thirteen original oil paintings, the exhibition marks Russell Flint’s return
to Arcadia and his first formal exploration of movement, both literal and emotional.
“Still, She Moves” began as a response to the desire to create something lighter for darker times. The
resulting works lean into visual pleasure, with bold contrasts, elegant forms, and motion held
mid-gesture, while maintaining the quiet tension and narrative ambiguity that define
Russell Flint’s practice.
Early paintings such as “The Starlet and Aftermath” echo the introspective tone of past exhibitions, but
the series quickly shifts. Brighter, compositions blend classical references with theatrical arrangements,
creating a visual interplay between stillness and transformation. At the center of the exhibition is a
sequential series titled “Still, She Moves” featuring a dancer and close friend of the artist as the model.
