Process

Christophe Scott is a multidisciplinary visual artist and art historian primarily working in painting, photography, and poetry. His artistic practice revolves around the exploration of themes such as landscape, memory and representation. Through a personal and introspective approach, he seeks to represent his relationship to the world. Delving in both the abstract and the figurative, his works possess an ontological quality and aim to be vehicles of emotional expression.

 

The artist actively uses walking to contemplate landscapes, drawing inspiration from the places he visits to depict the shapes of nature and the body in tandem. Some of his recent works are in situ installations that evoke an immediate connection between the artist and his environment. The cycle of seasons and changes in nature propel him to represent the same iconographic elements several times, each time renewing his perspective of them.

 

Interested in the relationships between our personal stories, their narrative constructions, and their representations, Christophe Scott incorporates elements of his personal experiences into his work, most often in a fragmentary, subjective, and indirect manner. Narrativity is particularly prominent in his poetry and photography projects, which carry a shared reflection on our relationship to memory and the passage of time.

 

Academically trained as an art historian, Christophe Scott frequently references the history of painting in his pieces. His artworks have been showcased in various exhibition venues in recent years. Several of his texts have been published in magazines and newspapers, as well as in independent publishing. He currently teaches art history.
