About the Artist
Samara Scott's expansive practice is rooted in a deep research and inquiry into the malleability and mutative nature of materials belonging to contemporary production and waste. In liquid mingling assemblages/ tapestries of stockings, sunscreen, foam, broken glass, oils, eyeshadow, goo and gunk, there is ambience of a viscous and sensuous post-capital landscape. An inquiry into depths of a volatile system of things, of objects, commodities and conditions.
Samara Scott has exhibited widely and internationally. Select exhibitions include: Discordia, KM21, The Hague, Netherlands 2023; Soft Water Hard Stone, New Museum Triennial, New York, USA (2021); Mixing it Up: Painting Today, Hayward Gallery, London, UK (2021); The Doldrums, CAPC Museum, Bordeaux, France 2020; Days are Dogs, Palais De Tokyo, Paris.
