The Edge of The Day, Wasting Away Print

Scott Allen Roberts is an American contemporary landscape painter drawing on personal life experiences in which themes of mortality, existentialism, and the human condition dominate his bold and graphic artwork. A Los Angeles native born in 1980 and graduating with a BFA from the University of Southern California and post graduate from Parsons the New School, Roberts' ontological concepts could be considered 'dark' territory, yet he explores them through bright and compelling, stylistically collisional environments. Roberts has exhibited in Art Basel Miami, New York, Maryland, and Connecticut and published in several internationally distributed publications. The Hudson Valley is the backdrop for Roberts' art studio as well as the inspiration for several of his works. Delving into the wooded landscape and exploring the perpetuity of the seasons Scotts' work aims to draw focus to the tenuous juxtaposition between humanity and mother nature.
