From a series of exhibitions at the Gerald Peters Gallery in Santa Fe, NM, whose director of contemporary art called it “Mother Goose for adults.”
The Cincinnati Enquirer writes that the critters in this series “became his vehicle for commenting on the state of the art of painting at the end of the millennium. Viewers who know the history of painting will spot all kinds of references to specific artists and styles. ‘My work has been so serious for so long that I thought it was time to have some fun,’ Mr. Scott says. ‘I hope that this work will empower people who feel intimidated by art museums and galleries.’” Very good. Spiral bound.
