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 break free of the confines of their rectangular frames, activating the space and subverting the distinction between painting and sculpture.
Heywood's compositions are elegant explorations of the relationships between shape, line, color and space. 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. As art critic Jody Zellen noted, the inclusion of sculptural space allows for an exploration of “the relationships between presence and absence with respect to a given architectural space.”
Scot Heywood has shown extensively in Southern California since the late 1970s at such significant galleries as Patricia Faure Gallery, Frank Lloyd Gallery, ACE Contemporary Exhibitions and Peter Blake Gallery. His work has been featured in dozens of solo shows, and has been included in significant group exhibitions at The Los Angeles Institute of Contemporary Art, San Francisco Art Institute and Otis College of Art & Design. Heywood’s work has been featured in publications such as the Los Angeles Times, Art in America, Art Slant, LA Weekly and Artweek. His paintings are represented in numerous public and private collections, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Frederick R. Weisman Foundation, Laguna Art Museum, Palm Springs Art Museum, and Museo Jumex in Mexico City.. He currently lives and works in Los Angeles, California.
