Ian Scott - a varied body of work

Ian Scott is most well known for his lattice’s like the one above.

Ian decided to become an artist before going to Secondary School.  His family had emigrated to New Zealand from the UK when he was 7.

He started out as a conventional landscape and figurative painter.

Scott was one of the few artists to make the switch to contemporary realism (like Pop Art)  followed by modernist abstraction.

After the lattices, he did a painters series that paid homage to other artists.  After that he moved on to paintings which referenced other works but had large lettering attached.

More recently in a play on 'painting' he has been doing a series showing paint brushes (usually house painting ones).

All in all, an impressive body of work.
