John Scott is a contemporary Australian artist. John's paintings incorporate a multitude of mixed media, including oils, acrylics, collage and goldleaf on canvas. His painting style has developed over the years from an initial pursuit of realism (portraits and landscapes), to his latest works, which have been described by a peer, as intuitive symbolism. John creates paintings that really connect to both the heart and mind of the viewer.

His concern for the direction of society and its impact on the environment has greatly influenced the subject matter of his paintings in recent years. He strives to inspire the viewer to ask the big questions about life : about our social, political and economic paradigms, about our social responsibilities, about our interconnectedness to all life on this planet, and what we can each do to really genuinely improve the lives of the inhabitants of this planet both now and into the future.
