Scott Lawrence

Scott Lawrence takes as his subject matter a diverse array of everyday objects and, through careful attention, experimentation and manipulation, recasts them as new forms ranging from the sadly awkward to the positively elegant. The poetic is set at odds with the utilitarian. The human figure is implied throughout, but only indirectly, via stand-ins such as clothing or furniture. The resulting sense is one of vacancy, as if the human itself has somehow been lost in a repetition of mass-produced goods and daily commutes. Lawrence's sculptures, paintings, drawings and video works have been exhibited throughout the US and in Paris, Berlin, Seoul and Vancouver. He has had solo shows at GRIN (Providence, RI) and NurtureArt (Brooklyn, NY), and will be part of a forthcoming two-person show at Take it Easy (Atlanta, GA). His work has been included in the SPRING/BREAK art show, the BHQFU Brucennial, the White Columns Artist Registry, and has appeared in the New York Times, Art Papers, and the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Originally from Alabama, Scott Lawrence currently lives in New Haven, Connecticut.
