Arran Scott
Incorporating contradictions into my sculptures offers insight into how individuals or audiences react, helping me explore the unique ways we engage with opposing elements or the overall emotional experience of the piece.
While my work is grounded in contemporary representations of the human form, it's not confined to that. I strive to express deeper complexities and subtle transitions, creating a composition that feels meaningful. I'm inspired by the powerful impact a sculpture can have on its viewer and the varied interpretations it evokes. I also find inspiration in questioning the unknown, allowing my personal expression to guide the formation of my compositions.
Arran’s interest in human psychology continues to grow as every sculpture composition is carefully considered. An accumulation of complexities is found in Arran’s work, along with delicate, harmonious transitions. Arran continues to push the boundaries in his approach to sculpture within the modern world of contemporary human form.
Attracted to the mediative process, Arran predominantly works in timber. Carving it by hand, Arran has a natural eye and appreciation for the beautiful aesthetics wood naturally provides, meticulously selecting every single piece of wood for his Sculptures. Although Arran chooses to work in timber, he has a growing interest in utilising media which has not yet seen to have been used in any sculptural form.
Interested in pushing boundaries, and exploring a new medium temporarily, Arrans latest Sculpture “Untitled” was created with an accumulation of Metal facets and raw welded textures, incorporating an extraordinary amount of complexities. Laced down one side, Strands of copper wire entangled between the metal facets and voids.
In the works of Paradox of Serenity mixed media was also used. Using Molten Lead, Arran crafted tears flowing down her dream like face, continuing down to a puddle of tears seamlessly flowing on the floor, Creating his contradiction.
Since the age of 3 , Arran has always been around wood and inspired by hand tools, later leading him to a career in Carpentry and Joinery. Furthering his skills and growing interests, Arran moved into chainsaw carving. Always pushing the boundaries of the general suspected chainsaw carved item. Arran formed many dynamic, Abstract and human form sculptures gaining him credit and recognition from around the globe, taking part in Master wood Symposiums. In the world of chainsaw carving, not being Satisfied, and seeking more refinement, Arran moved into the world of Fine art and Sculpture, where he expresses a new idea of introducing contradiction to 3 dimension forms.
