One of Scotland's foremost contemporary artists, much of Scott's time is spent travelling around the country looking for inspiration for another take on the Scottish landscape. The many lochs, glens and isles of the West Coast are amongst his favourite subject matter for his vibrant and atmospheric oils.
Scott uses vivid colours in a vigorous application to represent the fast changing light conditions of the West coast of Scotland. Colour use often becomes an entirely emotional response to the subject while tone can remain representational.
The love he has for his native Scottish countryside is portayed in his work through an ebullient energy with which he handles the colour with pallette knife and brush.
Scott's recent work concentrates on transitional skies and the many colours involved when light breaks through cloud. These changing skies from dark to light are a metaphor for optimism and hope.
After a miraculous recovery from cancer by his father, his recent marriage, and the birth of his first child, Scott draws upon a great positivity and energy.
Since 2003 Scott has also been a part time lecturer at the Creative Arts Department of Reid Kerr College, Paisley. |
