Philip Rae Scott

Philip Rae-Scott was born in Devon, England, in 1991. Predominantly a formalist rather than a conceptual artist, Scott’s work tends to be hard-edged, geometric and solid. Rae-Scott is concerned with quality materials, surface finish and longevity. He always had a fascination with early machinery and vehicles, honing his making skills working on mechanical projects. His discovery of art and transition away from mechanical projects stemmed from a sharp realization that he felt it possible to achieve something closer to perfection with art. Rae-Scott takes inspiration from the making process itself, as well as old machinery and tools, insects, plants, architecture and the landscape. His work exists in several private collections in England, Geneva and Barcelona and he has exhibited in a large number of exhibitions in London and Sussex.
