About the Item
Photorealist, pop art style still life watercolor painting of iconic American cigarettes
"Marlboro II" by Scott Nelson Foster, painted in 2017
watercolor on paper
29 x 21.5 inches, 39 x 29 inches framed with glazing, white mat and black moulding
Wire backing for secure hanging
This photo-realist still-life of a classic red Marlboro pack of cigarettes was painted with watercolor by Scott Nelson Foster in 2017. With close attention paid to detail, the artist chose to picture the iconic American cigarette brand in a crushed and used state, perhaps symbolizing the harm the product does to ones body. The still life painting is framed with protective glazing, a white mat, and a simple black moulding. The piece is in excellent condition and is ready to hang as is.
About the artist:
Scott Nelson Foster received his first instruction in drawing and painting from his uncle, Roland Giampaoli, and from his grandfather, Will Nelson, while growing up in Boise, Idaho. From them he learned a variety of expressive and analytical watercolor techniques. Mr. Foster has worked in a variety of two-dimensional media, including wax, glue and egg temperas, watercolor, oil, and serigraphy. His paintings have been featured in solo and juried exhibitions on the east and west coasts. He has recently completed portraits commissioned by the St. Kateri Tekakwitha Parish and the Musician of Ma’alwyck. His interest in esoteric and unusual artistic practices has allowed him opportunities to work with iconographers, fresco painters, performance artists, and alchemists.
Mr. Foster received a B.A. in Fine Art from Northwest Nazarene University, and an M.F.A. in Painting and Drawing from Utah State University. After teaching in Utah for a period, Scott relocated to upstate New York, where he paints and teaches at Siena College.

Scott Nelson Foster
Scott Nelson Foster is best known for his black and white, monochromatic photo realist scenes of neighborhoods in small-town America. My paintings are reflections of changing ideas about the American experience, the American dream, and societal relationships to the land. The suburban landscape is an arena in which many different dramas of the American dream are played out.

Her recent series on canvas, playfully titled the “Boo-K” paintings, defy traditional still life depictions that often seek to tame and order the objects of the world. On the contrary, Taylor’s subjects are never still. Her floral forms have the crisp, clean qualities of cut paper; sharp, decisive lines slice through blocks of pure pigment to create defined edges of leaves, vines and blossoms. The colors are constructed as well as the form. Her exuberant palette of oranges, blues, magenta and green echo the complimentary colors favored by the Fauvists. Color is an element in and of itself in her work. This balance of sparkling color and form is irrepressible, at times disconcerting and even dangerous in its boldness. In a series of original paintings on paper, Joy pairs down the form by focusing on a single bloom or leaf. As a specimen under a microscope, Taylor dives into the crevices and details of each leaflet on this bright green Sweet...Category
