Brian Scott: Blur the NormalVisions West GalleryJuly 16 - August 27, 2010
 Brian Scott - “P.I. WATR #1” - Mixed Media (from the press release) “Blur the Normal” explores the range and possibility of the opposing forces of glass and metal by artist Brian Scott. The results are alchemical. The process and ideas Scott uses are informed and influenced by his ideas of post industrial society. The relic-like glass and metal totems and wall hangings are filled with an anonymous history. They appear worn and eroded, perhaps just unearthed in a postindustrial Rail yard. The dry dusty wind soaked landscape the Billings, MT artist calls home has clearly influenced his sculpture. They become implements defying time and logic. There is an ambiguous duality in the works’ fluid, transparent glass and the solid scarred metal surfaces. The tension of the radically different materials creates a wit and delicacy as well as a rawness and strength. Scott says, “The process by which I generate my art is simply living through the experiences of my life. I view my art as relics of existence, occurring naturally through my own creative praxis.” Visions West Galleries 1715 Wazee St. Denver, CO 80202 303.292.0909 Mon-Fri: 10am-6pm http://visionswestgallery.com
