There is something phenomenal about this guy and his art and I am totally smitten by it. Courtesy of Cent magazine, I stole him on their website :) These ‘accidental’ sculptures are, hands on heart, like no art I’ve ever seen before and I would love to encounter them one day. I say accidental as the man himself uses this word, for anybody could stumble upon them and think they weren’t purposely composed. He uses objects, mattresses, TV’s, planks to build his art, with a high focus on the way it is pictured. Though he may not sculpt these pieces with his bare hands, they really say something about our environment and about life and i guess that’s what art is meant for. His real expression through composition is very strong, with attention to detail, symmetry, angle, lighting, Its all apart of the art.
We are all really fixed in our old traditional ways of viewing art, we may see this as pretty unorthodox, we may not understand it, but understand that some of the best works of art are not on a wall in a gallery, its all around us. Just take a look and see the skilled tag of a graffiti artist. The careful positioning, the balancing, the accuracy of the photography, the stories that we create in our heads is what makes this amazing. Seeing familiar indoor things outdoors in a the frankest of words fucks with our brains because they are out of their usual “homes”. I have found myself somehow relating to the slummy landscapes of these pictures, so even behind the screen of a computer, this art is engaging me. It is so visually exciting. His recent work focuses on home or lack of home, “where my bed is, my home is” - Scott Jarrett
From Chicago, a well city known for its artistry, Scott Jarrett has a BA and Masters in Fine Art, His images are powerfully simple and I assume their is gun loads of thought behind it. Not accident but masterpieces. Just sit back and see if your heart doesn’t feel something when you look at these images. Tell me that the raw rustic almost derelict scenery doesn’t do something to the spirit in your bones. This is the a prime example of Arts + Power
