Scott Redden’s paintings lead you through a meandering vision of seemingly bucolic but
portentous landscapes. Each painting consists of expansive fields of color brought together to form clearly defined and recognizable objects, incased in quiet and stillness. The colors are mostly a fundamental green, blue, yellow or white; coolly viewed from your safe and shadowed distance. The sparse compositions offer riveting, almost puritan panoramas that beckon and hold the viewer’s gaze, which is prolonged and intrigued more than soothed.
One is bound to notice the crisp solitary house, the chrome yellow truck, stolid lean trees and the rare Damoclean cloud, all lush images and all strategically distanced from one another. They are beautifully composed vistas, if not always welcoming or sheltering.
The metropolitan Transit Authority of New York also observed the quiet, the pensive, the calm in
Scott Redden’s paintings, resulting in a coveted commission for seven substantial panels for the New York City subway.
