FROM THE CAVES TO NOW

Painting Forward by

SCOTT BENNETT

SCOTT BENNETT paintings have been described as visionary by renowned art critic Clement Greenberg. His work spans exquisite realist biological specimens and heavily textured abstract landscapes, showcasing his versatility as an artist. Bennett's approach to painting is deeply experimental —he often uses unconventional tools like knives, squeegees, and house painting brushes to create dynamic textures, particularly in his acrylic pieces. His landscapes and still-life paintings have been exhibited in numerous galleries, including the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse, NY, and the Helander Gallery in Palm Beach, FL.

His ability to capture depth and movement in his work has earned him recognition among formalist painters who explore abstract landscapes.

​

At 73, BENNETT says "I am a landscape painter at heart but I need the freedom that non-objective abstraction offers."

 

Chamot says, "The surfaces of his tree portraits can be seen as vibrating color volumes totally meshing with our asymetral globular surroundings.

It's a contemporary caveman's masterful manipulation of an epochal medium."
