New York-based artist Iris Scott (previously featured) isn’t your typical Impressionist. Sure, she captures fleeting moments and the essence of light, but her technique is anything but ordinary. Instead of wielding delicate brushes, Scott dives headfirst into her art, using her fingers to create a riot of color and texture. The result? Breathtakingly vivid landscapes and scenes that burst with energy and life. Scott’s unique approach adds a layer of intimacy and tactility to her work, inviting us to connect with the emotional pulse behind each brushstroke – or rather, fingerstroke.
Beyond the unconventional method, what truly sets Scott’s work apart is her fearless use of color. She isn’t afraid to crank up the saturation, throwing deep purples, fiery oranges, and electric blues onto the canvas with reckless abandon. Yet, despite the intensity, there’s a harmonious balance to her paintings. The bold hues somehow coalesce to create a captivating visual symphony, a testament to Scott’s mastery of color theory.
