2025 Juried Exhibition

Prince Street Gallery, 2025 Juried Exhibition.

JUROR: Bill Scott is a painter and printmaker. His color-based abstractions echo nature and his own imagination, creating imagery that complicate firm boundaries between the abstract and the representational. He has little interest in copying directly from nature yet his canvases overflow with lush renderings of imagined flora and fauna.

In New York he is represented by Hollis Taggart where he has had ten solo exhibitions since 2004. Between 1989 and 1997 he had four solo exhibitions at Prince Street Gallery and

wrote the catalog essay for the gallery’s 50th anniversary exhibition catalog https://princestreetgallery.com/prince-street-gallery-at-50/. He also exhibits at Cerulean Arts in Philadelphia where he has also organized group exhibitions. Scott began his career studying at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts from 1974 to 1979 where he painted the figure and still life. He considers longer periods of working informally with other painters including Joan Mitchell as significant inspiration. An interview with him appears in Joan Mitchell by Her Friends (Les Presses du Réel, 2023). Other interviews with Scott include 

Art Spiel (2023), I Know Strange People (2022), Larry Groff’s Painting Perceptions (2020) and Beer with a Painter (2018). His works are in the permanent collections of the Cleveland Museum of Art, Delaware Art Museum, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Munson Museum of Art, and others. He has also written several times about the Impressionist, Berthe Morisot, and most recently contributed essays to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum’s 2024 exhibition catalog, Manet: A Model Family.
