Collection: Case, G. Russell

Western painter G. Russell Case is inspired by creation, but he places little value on literal translations. His sweeping, idealized depictions of the Western landscape combine the beauty of the created world with the rich imagination and originality of an artist’s mind. Case’s work is simple, pure, and fresh; his painting draws in the viewer and delivers timeless landscapes. We are immediately transported into a world created by shadow and light, of immense vistas punctuated by jagged mountains and inhabited by lonesome cowboys and Native Americans.

Russell Case’s work is represented in galleries including the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, the Springville Museum of Art, and the Phippen Museum, among others. Case has also won numerous awards, including Best of Show and First Place Oil Painting at Phippen Western Art Show in Prescott, Arizona, in 2001; the Coors Western Art Best of Show in 2012 and Artist’s Choice in 2014. Among the national shows Case is in are the Prix de West in Oklahoma City; Coors Western Art Exhibition in Denver; and Maynard Dixon Country in Mt. Carmel, Utah.

Case resides in Brigham City, Utah. He is married to Susanne, and they have three children: Taylee, Morgan, and Cooper. He is also a proud grandpa to six grandchildren.
