About the Item
Scot Heywood presents paintings that at first appear to adhere to the tenets of formal, hard-edged abstraction. Yet upon closer examination, one begins to see how his work challenges and often breaks with these assumptions. Heywood brings a subtle sculptural sensibility to his work, where shape and proportion provide the structural armature for color and upend expected formalities.
Born in Los Angeles in 1951, Scot Heywood has been investigating geometric abstraction for over forty years. A self-taught artist, Heywood's works are indebted to the origins of geometric abstraction in such artists as Kasimir Malevich, Piet Mondrian, and John McLaughlin though he has crafted a thoroughly personal interpretation.
In his multi-panel paintings, Heywood experiments with freeing art from the burden of the object, translating planes into elegantly composed geometric sections, each a variation on a theme. Reductive in nature, the subtleties of form and formal qualities of composition are paramount. Large in scale, he utilizes color-blocking of highly saturated panels in red, black, yellow, green and blue chromas, pristinely executed through layered, diagonal
strokes. Heywood juxtaposes these fields of flat color, squeezing forms into
tensions that often explode beyond the confines of their rectangular frames,
activating the space and subverting the distinction between painting and sculpture.
Exploring the relationships between shape, color, line, and space, Heywood's
vocabulary reaches towards juxtaposing and distilling them to their essence. Extending beyond the rectangular confines of the canvas, the paneled reliefs disrupt the plane and the relationship of figure to ground, introducing a sculptural dimension.
