Scoop Studios Presents “UP” with Scott Debus
Author: Spaced Invaders // Category: Just Blogging, Upcoming Events
Hailing from New York, Scott Debus moved to Charleston, SC three years ago and opened a gallery that showed his art as well as others on Bogard St. Debus is the Co-curator and co-organizer of Kulture Klash, the bi-annual multi-disciplinary contemporary art event in North Charleston that incorporates his New York persona.
Various paintings that Debus creates start as pure color and they morph into characters that become faces and figures. The artist describes his process of the new original painting, “UPtake” in the simplest form: “it’s like staring at clouds and pulling pictures out of them.” The superhero and ancient religious idol influenced painting, “I Don’t Believe in UP”, actually has the faces of local artists that Debus has collaborated with recently. They are all flying over the slums and dump while a McMansion is perched up above on a pile of dirt.
