Object Label:
Show Object Label(s)Scott Brodie’s (American) career is
defined by the genre of still-life painting
and depiction of ordinary objects.
Speaking of his work, the artist says,
“I see the shopping bags, packets of
Sweet’N Low, or tchotchkes on a shelf,
as the meaningful objects in our lives.
The image is just an excuse to make a
painting. The true subject is the color,
arrangement, and tactility of the painting
medium.” An avid traveler, Brodie’s
work has taken him to destinations such
as the American southwest; Pompeii,
Italy; Suzhou, China; and Dogtown,
Massachusetts. He later converts his on-
site studies into larger works on canvas in
his studio, located in New York’s Capital
Region.
