Scott Naismith Figurative Paintings

Scottish

Scott Naismith was born in Glasgow in 1978 and attended Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design full time from 1996 – 2000, with the ambition of becoming an artist. He graduated with a BDes (Hons) in Illustration and Printmaking. Naismith is inspired by the landscape of the West Coast of Scotland. His vibrant color palette isn’t always entirely representational, more than his emotional response to the landscape. His approach to painting draws upon tremendous energy and positivity, which is reflected in the themes of hope and optimism that infuse his work.

Displacement - 21st Century, Contemporary, Figurative Painting, Oil
By Scott Naismith
Located in Barcelona, Catalonia
"My recent work now becomes more involved with cloud cover and its effect on light and colour through both its translucent and opaque properties. Clouds are visible masses of water droplets or frozen ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. They have the ability to refract and reflect, creating an ever changing perception of light which inspires my use of colour. I am constantly referring to the paradox of a cloud’s perceived weight and its fragility and the relationship between the cool and warm colours created by it. I have become increasingly interested in catching the moment when heavy overcast clears to reveal clear blue sky, a cool colour that complements the warmth it brings. While the most obvious manifestation of light refraction at this time would occur in the form of a rainbow, I will be concerned with accentuating the infinite, more subtle effects. I find myself inspired increasingly by the works of Turner, who created ephemeral atmospheric effects using large washes of liquid paint. Other influences include Henry Matisse, Francis Cadell, Glasgow boys: Guthrie Lavery, Henry... and Joan Eardley...
