Scott Greene’s work is not associated with a definitive time period, but instead, works to integrate art historical and classical elements into a more contemporary approach. Greene’s work functions as a form of socio-political commentary and “uses the composition of a historical work as a matrix for making a painting that humorously examines the relationship between politics, nature and culture”. Greene draws on themes such as beauty, popular culture, and the natural environment in an additive artistic process that emphasizes the visual and temporal effects of building rather than executing a work in a single instance. After studying in California and receiving his BFA in painting from the San Francisco Art Institute, Greene moved to New Mexico, where he received his MFA in painting and has since lived for almost 30 years. Greene’s work derives much of its influence from this matrix; where he describes that, “the expansive space, vivid light and western frame of reference informs the narrative content in my work, and the alien beauty of high desert skies serve as backdrops for many compositions”. Greene also touches on the complex interplay between beauty and environmental exploitation within his oeuvre—an issue he sees as being both pertinent to and prevalent within New Mexico, today.

The Artist

Scott Greene

A longtime resident of New Mexico, painter/printmaker Scott Greene received his BFA in painting at California College of the Arts, and his MFA in painting from the University of New Mexico. His complex narratives address the dire conditions of the planet, taking on environmental concerns, popular culture, autobiographical and historical references in wry, post-industrial imagery. During his residency at Tamarind, Greene worked closely with a team of printers, ultimately creating an incisive drawing on stone that calls into question the veracity and sustainability of the natural world around us. Greene is represented by Catharine Clark Gallery in San Francisco and Turner Carroll Gallery in Santa Fe.
