Artist Profile: Dorian Scott

I'm captivated by Dorian Scott's newest series. Hauntingly beautiful images are rendered in rich oil paint, while a minimal background enables some breathing room. Simple narrative is lost through the isolation of a single, enigmatic image, or the combination of unexpected objects. Something secretive is going on.

In her words:

I develop each idea using real props in a traditional still life studio set up. I obsessively study every detail to bring a life like quality to each subject. I concentrate my efforts solely on the architecture of symbols, distilling their essence to remove and isolate them from a normal context.
