Painting and drawing on anything he could find had been a big part of Scott’s early childhood days, despite his partial colour-blindness. As he grew older and life’s distractions got in the way and things took a different tack for a while. But his love of developing and creating ideas and seeing them come to life in front of him was still burning strong inside.
Many years later after an inspirational time spent in the UK and Europe Scott’s passion resurfaced. With no formal training it began as a creative outlet and form of stress relief after a days work. Scott’s body of work has developed over the years into a pop art and street art stencil based style. Bold colours and mixed media elements are introduced with his strong love of music and pop culture also highly evident in much of his work.
HI8US counts his time involved with the Condor Carpark Project as one of the most exciting times in his short artistic life with the chance to paint with, be inspired by and interact with some of Perth’s most underrated and most respected artists. This also led to Scott’s involvement in the painting of the Gasworks building for the Perth Fashion Week Festival.
Exposure to HI8US work is growing all the time with pieces seen in cafe, restaurants and galleries throughout Perth and the South West over the last few years.
Scott is continually pushing for new ideas, processes and formats to express his ideas. Who knows what just around the corner.
