James P Scott

James P. Scott’s practice includes painting, photography, digital media, and sculpture, to examine time and space through quotidian entropic signatures on an urban environment.

Referencing graphic symbols, communication systems, and structural decay on networks that permeate the metropolitan landscape in contrast with the natural southern California environment and light qualities, as well as his own diverse travel, cultural and scientific interests, James builds works that have beauty and presence.

James’ studio practice incorporates impressionism, expressionism, realism, photography, collage, and abstraction to express series’ that speak about the nature of communication, organization, and existence as each change through time. Light, color, technology, the dichotomy of belief and knowledge, and occasionally cupcakes are well-explored motifs.
