SCOTT EVERINGHAM

SCOTT EVERINGHAM

Scott Everingham creates environments and worlds that have yet to exist. Spaces are built and dismantled as if in a single moment of time where life and its bi-products are created by paint, rather than with reality that is familiar. What is central to the work is interpreting growth through the collaboration between assembled space, and paint as the visceral tool used to create it.

The artist’s strong interest in fiction, and the nature of fiction itself, allows the work to develop with a controlled impulse, often relying on chance and error to move each painting to completion. Each stroke is crafted based on the stroke before it, and a work progresses quickly and without delays until considered finished. This immediacy is indicative of how each painting is put together: various selections of colour and brushstroke mimic the natural and fabricated world, often with utopian and dystopian results.

By creating moments in time that have a constructed and fragmented footing, Everingham is free to explore the materiality of the paint and the relationships between marks and negative space, as well as how this liberty correlates directly with fiction, in that anything is possible. As such, a viewer may approach each painting as experiential, perhaps without roots in familiarity, but inviting an exploration into other realities and clarity.

Everingham holds a BFA from NSCAD University in Halifax, and an MFA from the University of Waterloo, and was a semi-finalist in the 11th and 12th RBC Painting Competitions. He recently won a Canada Council for the Arts Project Grant, and had his work Dear Life purchased by the Canada Council Art Bank. He lives and works in Toronto.
