Scott Ingram: Cusp

Reception for the artist: Friday December 9th, 7-10 pm

Emily Amy Gallery is pleased to present Cusp, its first-ever exhibition of Atlanta-based artist Scott Ingram. This solo show and 3rd exhibition of the nail polish drawings takes a wide look at the modern art world. Inspired by the work of Ellsworth Kelly, Frank Stella, and Kenneth Noland, Ingram's work also has a strong focus on line. Ingram explains, "For me the works are ultimately based in line and drawing. The lines that make up the pieces reflect ideas of human life for me. They all start the same and end the same, but it is the path that each unique line takes that creates the composition. The paintings are rather liberating to make, I select the size, colors and arrangement, but the rest is gravity. The lines activate the pure white space leaving an artifact of the action as a contemporary document." Please join us in celebrating the opening reception of the exhibition, Friday, December 9th, from 7-10 pm.
