Scott Covert is a world traveler, currently a resident of Manhattan, creates multifaceted paintings as his voyage to cemeteries around the world inspire this artist to share his interpretation of some of the most unforgettable, dearly departed pop culture icons of our time.
Through his assorted works on canvas, utilizing acrylic paint, oil pastels and sometimes glitter and swarovski crystals, he captures the spirit of our consciousness. When we are conscious we are aware. Conscientiousness is being open and interconnected to each other in a cognitive style. When entirely empathetic, we become responsive to the beauty of the struggle in others achievements. His paintings amplify the beauty of gaining recognition and of dreams accomplished.
Scott’s work can be described as abstract expressionism and pop art. Upon viewing Scott’s work, one might ask themselves, what is beauty? What deserves acknowledgement? Also, what events in history we may want to stay away from, so that they don’t happen again.
Frottage, or the technique of creating an image by rubbing, (as with a pencil), over an object placed underneath the paper, or a composition so made, is a technique used for centuries.
a single grave rubbing was missing the stories of, and the level of humanity, which is captured in the paintings of Scott Covert. As these frottage paintings are his most significant cultural contributions, they are insightful of the muddled complexity of our universal united conscientiousness.
While they glorify and celebrate the full gamut of man’s achievements and failures, they also observe the simple frailty, and inescapability of our own mortality.
