Scott Whiteman

Also the author of storybooks, Scott Whiteman's paintings hint at stories that are never quite told. Half-animal, half-human figures populate his other-worldly canvases – often hooded and bound, yet strangely dignified. There is a quiet, ritualistic quality to his work that lingers.

Artist statement

I create other-worldly oil paintings that reflect my interest in story-telling, but in a narrative form where the meaning is not fully explained – the power lies in its enigma. The depictions deal with themes of powerlessness - the feeling of being at the mercy of forces far larger than any individual. It is a subject that illuminates my view of a world in which we are hyper-aware of its scale and complexity, through the enormous amount of media which we subject ourselves to. I express this sense of insignificance and unease through half animal figures, often hooded and bound.
