John Scott (born 1950) is one of Canada’s most prolific artists known for his raw, visceral paintings that comment on the dark side of politics, war and humanity. Combining counterculture aesthetics of the late 1970s and 1980s, Scott presents an apocalyptic vision of the world.
In 1997, John Scott: Engines of Anxiety, was curated by David Liss for the Gallery of the Saidye Bronfman Centre for the Arts and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
