About William Scott
William Scott (b. 1964) is a self-taught American painter best known for his vivid portraiture of Black figures: encompassing actors, neighbours, musicians, self-portraits, civil rights leaders, family members, politicians, and women from the Baptist church he attended on a lifelong basis. Scott also has self-described as an architect: his topographic and architectural works promote a fundamental belief in the potential for positive transformation of communities and ways of living.
He has exhibited across the US and Europe with institutions such as Hayward Gallery; London, Malmö Konsthall; Malmö, Palais de Tokyo; Paris, Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Los Angeles, White Columns; New York City, and Studio Voltaire; London. Scott’s work is held in notable institutional collections, such as the Museum of Modern Art; New York City, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; San Francisco, Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Los Angeles, and The Studio Museum; New York City.
Scott works with Creative Growth, a leading non-profit organisation supporting contemporary artists with developmental disabilities.
