Scott Vandervoort

Scott Vandervoort is a New York-based artist whose creations broadly explore themes of transience, beauty, memory, and the ambiguous divide between art and the everyday. He works in both two and three dimensions, with paint, sculpture and installations – often inspired by the communications and artefacts of ancient and primitive communities.

Vandervoort's art engages viewers in an often playful dialogue about the process by which objects, images and spaces acquire meaning. They are constructed from a self-developed 'alphabet' or 'language' that sets the parameters for guiding his work process, avoiding drawing attention to artistry or deeper layers of perception. Our Modern Shapes Editions aim to capture some of the artist's penchant for simple complexity in wood.

In 1998, Vandervoort received a B.A. in Industrial Design from the Pratt Institute in New York City, the city where he still lives and works.
