Scott Marvel Cassidy

My paintings are concerned with anxiety, depression, and the uncanny. I try to keep the subject matter or narrative visually static. Painting directly from life, the strategy is obsessive, excessive, and overworked in lieu of the gestural stroke. This process involves designing and building sets, props, and models. This supports an inclination to capture minute details of objects, architecture, and people. I can spend many months to years on a painting.
