Biography

Michael Scott has been part of the New York contemporary art scene since the early 1980s, creating paintings that are visual experiences pushed to the extreme. Scott juxtaposes narrow vertical lines on aluminum panels, at times in different colors and patterns, producing a disruptive optical impact that compels the viewer to see these works anew each time.

During the 1990s, his paintings were programmatic, precisely calculated with systematic patterns, but they later became more intuitive, allowing chance and process to be evident. Steering away from subjectivity, Michael Scott currently explores an artistic approach which, though pure and linear in form, remains painterly.
