JAMES SCOTT: NEW WORK - 9/10 Opening and Screening at Beyond Baroque Literary & Arts Center, Venice

Please join us for the opening of James Scott's upcoming solo show, James Scott: New Work, at the Mike Kelley Art Gallery at Beyond Baroque Literary and Arts Center in Venice (681 Venice Blvd). The reception will be held on Saturday September 10, from 3-7 pm.

The evening will also include a 5 pm screening of James' film on David Hockney, Love's Presentation (1966). The documentary follows Hockney at work on a series of etchings illustrating CP Cavafy poems, with improvised commentary by David himself.

James Scott’s new series of paintings and drawings speak to a practice in which simple configurations of line and shape allude to life’s complexities, occupying the space where form and metaphor become contiguous. Scott has chosen to display brand new works alongside works from the past couple years. The inherent comparative study illuminates the artist’s continued interest in material experimentation and the emergence of a visual language that is all his own.
