About
John Scott began his painting career in the 1990's whilst living in the South of France. His work was displayed in galleries in Gordes, Les Baux, Avignon and St Paul de Vence.
Since the beginning of 2019 he has concentrated on paintings that reflect the various aspects of the landscape around him in the Haute Loire and surrounding regions that are often ignored or overlooked. The subjects include his home in Vernassal, the nearby towns and villages (often under snow), churches of the region and the "Vallée des usines" in Thiers. His most recent series are of the interiors of the 18th century convent in which he lives, the empty shop-fronts found in every town and village of the region, the nearby forests, waterfalls and the native animal life of the region..
Following a very busy 2024 with seven large scale exhibitions and a number of salons, this year there is only one major exhibition and a couple of salons:
SOLO EXHIBITION « Un Monde Qui Disparaît », Mairie, Chadrac, 1 Apr - 31 Mai
SALONS
Au Jardin des Arts, Chamalieres sur Loire-Jun
Salon Sol'Art, Lyon, Sept
and throughout the year at his Studio/Gallery in Vernassal (below)
