George E. Russell

George Ellis Russell (January 23, 1933 – May 8, 2016) was a Canadian painter and art teacher known for his philanthropy. His hexagonal paintings are filled with geometric shapes and pure colours. Creating hundred of artworks in his signature hexagonal format, his work is in the same family as ''Les Plasticiens'', a close relative to Claude Tousignant's circles and Guido Molinari's stripes. His art was also strongly influenced by the Op Art mouvement. Provided by Wikipedia
