Fredericton artist Stephen Scott\u2019s exhibition \u201cThe (un)certainty of Seeing; the Paintings of Stephen Scott\u201d <\/i><\/b>marks a reflective moment in the production of work which has taken place over almost a decade. During our discussions Scott has indicated that he has felt the need to find consolidation to the varied manner of his creative expression, and he has felt that the Art Centre would provide an appropriate venue for the exhibition of these works. The works in this series displays his mastery of technique while showing insight into and capturing the independent and singular nature of his subjects.<\/p>\n

His paintings, consciously crafted, also reference psychological forces at work, with entwining those of the artist himself with the symbolism embedded in his painting style. The title of this exhibition, \u201cThe (un)certainty of Seeing; the Paintings of Stephen Scott\u201d<\/i><\/b> seems in some way to call attention to his journey through art and art making.<\/p>\n

Stephen Scott has always impressed me as an uncompromising artist who is dedicated to his lifelong passion of creating art through careful study and observation, preparation, and the investment in the many hours necessary for the creation of his vision.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This first solo exhibition of my work since 2015\u00a0explores\u00a0thematic material employing\u00a0the\u00a0human figure. The paintings\u00a0focus\u00a0on\u00a0a\u00a0small number\u00a0of individuals who have shared in the intimate creation of works\u00a0produced in the period between 2012 and\u00a02021.<\/p>\n

My\u00a0primary inspiration has remained quite close to home, and my wife Sophie has\u00a0served\u00a0as muse and subject in many of the works. The paintings, although figurative, exist not as portrait descriptions, but as vehicles for exploration of the human experience in a\u00a0variety\u00a0of contexts.<\/p>\n

Many of the works are available for sale. You can contact me directly at\u00a0info@stephenscott.ca<\/a>, or Gallery 78 at\u00a0art@gallery78.com<\/a>\u00a0for information.<\/p>\n
