Opening: Michael Scott: Habitat and The Preternatural

In his latest exhibition, Michael Scott expands on his Preternatural landscapes, confronting viewers with arresting new narratives where nature reigns supreme and animals stand as sentinels to a world in flux. His large-scale, theatrical compositions place wildlife at the forefront—stags, wolves, and polar bears become symbols of power, survival, and warning.

Rich with the elemental forces of fire, water, earth, and air, these works blend sublime beauty with an unsettling awareness of environmental fragility. Scott’s meticulous process, from immediate oil sketches to grand allegorical canvases, results in an immersive tableaux where sky, trees, and creatures merge in a dynamic interplay of movement and stillness. Scott’s luminous, layered colors and intricate compositions demand to be seen in person, where their full intensity and mystery unfold. In this body of work, looking is not passive—it is an act of bearing witness to the forces that shape, sustain, and threaten the natural world.
