Polaroid Big Swinger 3000
By Christopher
Christopher Stott is a contemporary realist painter.
Yashica, Kodak, Bencini Cameras
Yashica, Kodak & Bencini. I think I paint things in tidy, neat rows to add order to the chaos around me. Or maybe I just like things organised and straight forward. Read more
Four Vintage Electric Fans
I recently downsized my vintage fan collection, but my wife saw these Four Fans headed out the door and put a stop to it. Like a few other paintings for my October/November exhibition this year, this painting has some archival prints on paper available. Read more
Four, Five – Vintage Alarm Clocks
These colourful vintage alarm clocks – I can’t seem to get enough of them. I could paint them over and over. These will be showing at my October/November 2015 exhibition in New York City.
Five, already belongs to a collector, but there are limited edition archival prints available at the George Billis Gallery — click here for details.
Four — a tidy arrangement with an even tempo and rhythm, also available as a print.
Dream Days
Dream Days, a little alarm clock with brass bells sits on a small stack of books, all on blue.
I started painting these clock and book compositions a few years ago. I find the combination to have a calming effect. The shapes are so simple and recognisable. They have an orderliness about them that speaks to me. Read more
Prints
I am often asked if I have prints available. Yes I do — you can see them here.
I have several giclee prints available through the Elliott Fouts Gallery, you can check them out here. They are on canvas and come in a variety of sizes.
There are also new archival prints on paper through the George Billis Gallery in NYC. Those can be viewed here.
Art can seem like such an exclusive and elite interest and endeavor. It has this illusion of being inaccessible and something to strive for. I think prints are a way to break down barriers. If someone is interested in the image, likes what they see and wants to collect it, I think they should be able to. Prints make that possible. I want my work to be seen by everyone.
Clocks in Progress
I’m happy with the way this one is turning out. It is nearly complete and once it’s ready to ship, it’ll be off to New York to be part of my October 13 – November 14, 2015 exhibition at the George Billis Gallery.
Christopher Scott or Christopher Stott?
I get called “Scott” all the time. I think it’s the hard ‘C’ on my first name and the uncommon, but sounding so close to ‘Scott’, last name that people just assume and jump in to calling me Scott.
And then I Googled ‘Christopher Scott‘ and saw that over the last few years some bloggers have shared my work, which is cool, but have called me Christopher Scott. It has even happened in a publication. The first one I ever was in in 2009. So people are also reading Scott where they should be reading Stott.
So I’m writing this blog post as a way to perhaps catch some of those random Christopher Scott searches and shares that are actually looking for the art of Christopher Stott.
Work in Progress
After hosting visiting family for summer adventures, I’ve been enjoying quiet time in the studio and focussing on getting paintings complete. These will be part of my October 13 – November 14 exhibition in New York.
Sometimes I get so hung up on social media that I forget that my real goal is to make paintings, not constantly share in the river of images.
Timeless
Each clock is a little character with its different color, its own style. In groupings they interact with each other. Read more
