Scott Young

b. in Seattle, USA
Lives and works in London, UK

Scott Young is interested in the strange and uncanny relationships we project onto images and objects. His paintings are a contemporary re-envisioning of still life and vanitas, where objects and motifs with contentious social significance are carefully placed into coded dialogues.

Young received a BA in Philosophy & Aesthetics from The Evergreen State College and an MFA from Goldsmiths University of London (2022), after taking a six-month hiatus (2020) to study traditional decorative painting techniques at Van der Kelen Logelain, Brussels. Past exhibitions include: The Artist Room (London); Florence Trust (London); Art Exchange Gallery at University of Essex, Des Baines (London), and Christie’s.
