Suzanne Scott

Boy, That Was Fast

December 3rd - 28th 2021

Opening Friday December 3rd, 5p - 9p

By appointment only.

The Catskills is pleased to announce Boy, That Was Fast, a solo exhibition of recent works by Suzanne Scott. Featuring small and mid-sized abstract paintings derived from the fingerprints of friends and loved ones, the exhibition title is taken from the last words spoken by Scott’s close friend and former gallerist. Building on the artist's previous body of work, the paintings in this exhibition utilize a dark and more saturated palette, reflecting the recent passing of several of her friends. With an interest in the relationships between abstraction, portraiture, and the indexical act of fingerprinting, the artist will also be inviting guests into her process with an interactive fingerprinting performance taking place among her suite of paintings.

Born in New Jersey in 1973, Suzanne Scott has exhibited internationally including in New York, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Monaco, and Massachusetts. She recently completed three advanced, post-graduate art residencies in France, as well as attended the DNA artist residency in Provincetown, MA in 2021. 

She has studied anatomy at the Art Student’s League in NYC and completed her G.G. at the Gemological Institute of America, NYC. She will continue her study of painting in 2022 at the New York Studio School. 

Scott maintains a studio in New York City and continues to serve on several non-profit boards with the pursuit of creating modalities for disabled artists to create art.
