O'NEIL SCOTT "A JOURNEY TO DISTANT MEMORIES" ZILLMAN MUSEUM : UNIVERSITY OF MAINE | Tanya Weddemire Gallery

A Journey to Distant Memories, a solo-exhibition of works by Pennsylvania- based painter O’Neil Scott. The exhibition features numerous never-before-seen paintings and several of the artist’s largest compositions created to date. Scott was born in Spanish Town, Jamaica and the majority of these works are inspired by memories of locations and events experienced during his youth. They are a way for the artist to capture fleeting moments from childhood that seem “hazy, foggy and hard to distinguish” with each passing year. The paintings are contemplations of people, some familiar and others distant, and environments filtered through the disjointed lens of time and memory.
