Rendezvous Point
September 18, 2008 - November 1, 2008
To open our second year program, Light & Sie is proud to present “Rendezvous Point,” an exhibition of new paintings and drawings by Chicago-based painter, Scott Anderson. Taking the theme of travel as a foundation for this series, Scott has created new worlds of wonderment that defy physical laws of time and space. These paintings depict fantastical images of new lands and dimensions peopled by human beings as well as alien beings, all exploring their places in the cosmos. Meticulously rendered in his trademark neo-surrealistic style, Scott invites us to join him on his journey of discovery. In the process, we will learn not only about the nether regions of our own psyche but also that of our collective modern unconscious.
David Pagel of The Los Angeles Times writes of Scott’s work: “Anderson’s carefully composed and precisely painted pictures of easily identified things…are palimpsests of information that otherwise slips through the cracks of contemporary information technologies…Snobbery plays no part in his pictures. Nor does the idea that enough is ever really enough. As a painter, he is an archeologist of the incessant flow of electronically transmitted information…His works constitute beginnings that are fresh (without being pure) and generous (while being entirely recycled)…Anderson’s images redeem modern life’s messy incoherence not by promising an otherworldly utopia nor by washing away reality’s toxicity, but by inspiring viewers to marvel at the real world’s vast complexity…At the root of Anderson’s work is the conviction that nothing is out there that the imagination cannot compete with, and that the infinite is an intrinsic, if unpicturable, element of creative thought.”
Scott Anderson’s work is in the collections of The Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago and The Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art in Overland Park, Kansas as well as numerous public and private collections.
