Laura Jane Scott’s desire for formal simplicity through geometric form and striking use of colour, has enabled her to produce work where painting explores a model of architectural form and where the colour embodies a physical structure. The resulting work is a hybrid of painting and sculpture, a refined visual vocabulary of form and colour.
Recent works have introduced a compelling new tension: the interplay between presence and absence. By carving out recesses and voids within solid forms, Scott imbues her pieces with a physical and emotional complexity. These spaces invite shadows to enter the conversation, creating depth within the clarity of geometric lines. They evoke themes of privacy, containment, a stepping back. Expressing a push and pull between the desire to be seen and the instinct to retreat - an idea that resonates with her as someone who values and protects her personal space.
