mixed media paintings and works on paper

Evening with the artist: Wed, Feb 13 6-8pm

Scott Idleman questions everything: "Do we live in a big, big world or a microcosmos where everyone and everything is connected in increasingly facile ways?" Inspired by topographic maps, cellular imagery, archeological excavations, Aboriginal art, and rhythms and patterns in nature, the artist explores themes of connectivity and energy with the works on display in his solo exhibit, All Things Considered.

All Things Considered bridges the analytical notions of theme and artist's intention with how the art makes the viewer feel. It covers both the 'big picture' perception of viewing each piece as well as the 'naval gazing' aspect [artist's humorous description!] of getting lost in the minutiae.

When asked to describe his work in a single word, Scott provided several responses. "I like resonant and connected, those words make sense thematically to my art. I came up with alchemy, a reference to how the mediums interact to each other (i.e. washes of color and clear and opaque medium), flow (in reference to connectedness and movement), particular (in reference to the made-up particulate matter that I illustrate), elemental, and circulation, a reference to movement and the circles and dots that make up many of my pieces."
