Scott Everingham Canada, b. 1978
Scott Everingham’s paintings are inward views of a conscious and subconscious
environment, fusing logical and tangible structures with notions of fiction and
implausibility. They are spaces that are meant to describe an internal experience and
the challenges that come with growth and self-discovery. Moments of both chaos and
harmony arise, along with spaces that describe the passage of time and the immensity
of our external experience to form and matter. Everingham attempts to challenge
conventional perceptions of landscape painting, figure and ground relationships, and by
developing an emotional and introspective engagement with the viewer and the work.
Everingham holds a BFA from NSCAD University in Halifax, and an MFA from
the University of Waterloo. He is a 3-time RBC Canadian Painting Competition Finalist
with exhibitions at The Power Plant (Toronto), the National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa)
and Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal. He is the recipient of numerous awards
including the Jon Imber Painting Award from the Vermont Studio Centre, Canada
Council, Ontario Arts Council and the Toronto Arts Council. Everingham’s work has
been reviewed in The Toronto Star, Canadian Art Magazine, The Globe and Mail,The
Magenta Foundation, Juxtapoz Magazine, The National Post, Studio Beat, and NOW
Magazine. His work is included in many private and corporate collections such as The
Bank of Montreal, TD Bank Collection, RBC Corporate Collection, Art Gallery of Nova
Scotia, Welch LLP, Cadillac Fairview, Osler Hoskin & Harcourt and the Tom Thompson Art Gallery. Everingham exhibits internationally with exhibitions at the Torrance Art Museum (Los Angeles), Field Projects (New York) and Beers London (UK). Art fairs include The Armory Show (New York), Art Chicago, and Art Toronto. Everingham lives and works in Toronto, Canada.
