Opening Reception – Scott Mossman: PICTURES & FORMS

Attend the opening reception for Scott Mossman’s PICTURES & FORMS on Friday, November 8, from 6:00-9:00pm.

An active painter and sculptor since the early eighties, Mossman’s work has always involved the relationships inherent in elements and objects within a given space. Through his sculpture, Mossman’s geometric forms interact with architectural elements within a space and comment on the viewer’s relationship with the work, and existing elements such as soffits, baseboards, ceiling height, windows, and doors, among other features within a space. For this reason, the viewer never finds his sculpture placed at eye-level, where one would find a painting, and subsequently, ignores the rest of the room. Mossman’s paintings also pose this challenge, as elements within the work, such as color, perspective, and composition, work together to push the limits of a flat canvas. Painted tableaus derived from postcard images are paired with illusionistic space to create windows within the canvas. In Mossman’s PICTURES & FORMS exhibit, he has chosen a handful of two- and three-dimensional works that are perhaps his largest and most complex ever.
