The framing option for this RUN includes a 1 inch black wood frame with UV-glass, foam core backing and ready to hang hardware."This
piece is part of a larger thing that I've been doing this year where
I've been adding strange geometric graphic elements floating in the sky.
I started doing it to add a somewhat otherworldly dimension to the
scene. I'm not sure if it's something I'll continue to do, because
painting stripes is a pain in my butt, but I really like how it looks.
For
my recent work I've spent a lot of time thinking about using a very
specific place and time, and then warping that sense of place a bit by
throwing some weird crap in there. Like, say, a complex but
indeterminate shape floating in the sky that feels vaguely
technological, mystical, or extraterrestrial in nature. I wanted it to
feel simultaneously warm and inviting, and a little homey, but also
strange and alien. " - Scott Listfield
Scott Listfield is known for his paintings featuring a lone exploratory astronaut lost in a landscape cluttered with pop culture icons, corporate logos, and tongue-in-cheek science fiction references. Scott grew up in Boston, MA and studied art at Dartmouth College. After some time spent living abroad, Scott returned to America and, shortly before the real life, non-movie version of the year 2001, began painting astronauts and, sometimes, dinosaurs.
Scott has been profiled in Juxtapoz, Wired Magazine, the Boston Globe, New American Paintings, and on at least one local television station. He has exhibited his work in Los Angeles, Chicago, London, New York, San Francisco, Miami, Boston, and many other nice places.
