Hugh Scott–Douglas

Biography

Hugh Scott-Douglas (b. 1988, Cambridge, UK) studied at the Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, NY and the Ontario College of Art and Design, Toronto, Canada. Scott-Douglas is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans a wide range of media including painting, photography, sculpture, and video, often focusing on process as much as form and content. With a primary interest in the efficacy and agency of the artist relative the work, Scott-Douglas is interested in investigating systems of value, socio-economic structures, and technology. Scott-Douglas explores the presence of the maker and the maker’s decisions through tensions between analogue and digital modes of production as well as intentional and contingent systems of creation. 

Scott-Douglas’ work has been celebrated in recent solo exhibitions including at the Tochigi Prefectural Museum of Fine Art, Tochigi, Japan (2016); and the Rosenwald-Wolf Gallery, University of the Arts, Philadelphia, PA (2015).
