Scott Naismith

Based in Glasgow, Scott has been a professional artist since graduating from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in 2000 and a part-time lecturer in art and design since 2003. Recent success has brought Scott to exhibit internationally in Minneapolis, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Chicago and New York. In 2014 he won the Arnold Clark Award at the PAI. He has over 15000 subscribers and over 1.8 Million YouTube views in 140 different countries. Many of his videos discuss his alternative colour theory he calls ‘The truth about the colour wheel’. His 128-page book ‘Scottish Skies’ published by Jeremy Mills Publishing was released in November 2015.

Scott’s ethereal depictions of the Scottish Landscape are built on themes of optimism and hope. He refers to his paintings as ‘atmospheric abstractions’ which are influenced by particle physics. They question the very construction and binding of particles, blurring the lines between solid, liquid and gas.
