Both a sculptor and painter, Scott VanderVoort creates large organic abstractions that interact harmoniously with the edges of his canvases, exploring the dynamic relationship between form and boundary. His work invites viewers into a playful and thoughtful exploration of how objects, materials, and spaces acquire meaning. Central to VanderVoort's practice is a self-invented visual alphabet—rooted in the contrast between circle and square—which he rigorously investigates through endless variations. VanderVoort earned a B.A. in Industrial Design from Pratt Institute in New York City in 1998, where he later served as professor for over two decades. Scott’s work has been included in many shows in New York, including two solos at ART CAKE.
