Adam Scott
Electric Avenue

June 21 - July 20, 2002

Adam Scott's new body of work consists of luscious paintings that are a romantic, paranoid, and juicy romp through the American landscape. Private moments and public locations are given a fluid topography that is both visually seductive and physically confrontational. An oblique cast of characters in puddles of over-saturated color hint to a warping psychedelic drug-scape or a melting plastic apocalyptic nightmare. These painted surfaces glimpse the uneasy pleasures, blunted horrors, and hypnotic habitats of our collective American consciousness. Adam Scott was born in 1970 in New York and lives and works in Chicago, Illinois. He has exhibited solo exhibitions at Gahlberg Gallery, College of DuPage, and Dogmatic Gallery in Chicago, and has an upcoming solo exhibition in the MCA Chicago's series 12x12: New Artists/New Work curated by Staci Boris. Adam Scott is also Co-Founder of Deluxe Projects.
