Scacco's coloured works deal with the idea of an unattainable future. Pieces in intense red fluorescent present formations resembling atolls of far-off archipelagos. In the words of Scacco these are “isolated worlds belonging to an impossible future”; pure fiction that embraces a fantasy “just close enough to see, yet too far to touch”. These vibrant isolations function as passionate expressions of Scacco’s impossible longing for an ideal that can never be. They are dream worlds with a strong sense of urgency: With you I will remain, To you I will come home. Sometime, somehow. However these are solitary islands, like we are solitary beings having to cope with life on our own. We are exposed to tides of fate at every moment, with the passing of time being the single and adamant constant to which we must align. — Daniel Klemm

Debra Scacco (b. 1976, New York) received a BA in Studio Art from Richmond University, London in 1998. Works by Scacco in many ways attempt to find equilibrium between fundamentally opposing forces: controlled and organic, obsession and restraint, truth and fiction, obligation and desire. Often using language as a tool, Scacco explores the transient space in which we continually oscillate, perpetually attempting to maintain the most basic emotional needs: to love, to be loved, and simply to belong. In 2012, Scacco was the first Artist-in-Residence at the Statue of Liberty National Monument and Ellis Island Museum. A recent group exhibition (text)ure (Patrick Heide Contemporary Art, London) explored the use of text in drawing as compositional medium, and included works by Carl Andre, Alighiero Boetti and Michael Landy. In 2010, her work featured alongside that of Tracey Emin and Michael Craig-Martin in the Royal Academy Summer Show (Royal Academy of Arts, London). In the same year, her work also featured alongside that of Sol LeWitt and Dennis Oppenheim in Outside the Lines, a survey of contemporary drawing at Royale Projects (Indian Wells, CA). In 2009, Scacco was nominated for the Jerwood Drawing Prize, the largest and longest running annual open exhibition for drawing in the UK. Scacco's solo exhibition Birds of Passage (Marine Contemporary, 2012) was reviewed in various publications including the Los Angeles Times, Beautiful/Decay and WhiteHot. Her work has also featured in ArtInfo and Art in America among others. She is a regular contributor to the Huffington Post Image Blog. After living in London for 16 years, Scacco recently relocated to live and work in Los Angeles.
