“GOOD LUCK”
AN EXHIBITION of COASTAL WELL WISHES
FOR A MORE PROMISING TOMORROW

by SCOTT PATT

Corduroy
(Mezzanine Gallery)
Portland, Maine
Opening Reception: Friday, April 2nd, 6 – 9pm

Please join Scott Patt for an exhibition of new paintings and sculptures at the Corduroy Gallery and Boutique in Portland, Maine – Friday April 2nd from 6pm – 9pm. This exhibition will run from April 2nd – April 30th, 2010.

“Good Luck” is a collection of new works by Scott Patt that explores self-determination within the physical and spiritual characteristics of luck and it’s relationship to ideologies in contemporary culture.

Luck has long been used to justify fortunes both good and bad, explain the unexplainable, accept that which is unchangeable and rationalize what is deserved. “Good Luck” the exhibition imagines a life relegated to nothing but chance: the uncontrollable, relentless and unbiased eye of fate as the decider. It is a modern shrine to hope, congregated by personalized objects of reverence, symbol and satire.

“Good luck” reflects deeply on Scott’s early life in Pennsylvania. Traditional Pennsylvania German Hex signs used to ward off evil and bring good luck are hybridized in new paintings and sculptures with his own symbology in adoration of surfing, it’s culture and the eastern shores. As well, common items from his Pennsylvania youth like cutting boards and paddles have been re-appropriated as canvases and further steeped in meaning carrying the message of good luck as it relates to religious, sexual and political imagery. Scott further explores the connotations of luck and it’s relationship to fate and sacrifice through his lucky rabbit’s foot sculpture series.

Scott Patt is an artist whose work is informed by the big pitch, by the aesthetics of communication and its multivalent layers in our physical environments – urban and rural. Inspired by the art of the Pennsylvania Dutch and post pop consumerism with its primary colors and promises of a healthier tomorrow, he was born in Allentown PA at the confluence of past greats – steel town and country idyll. His paintings and installations have been shown around the world—from Japan, Amsterdam to Portland and New York in spaces ranging from alternative storefronts to museums. He’s been shown at PICA and the Portland Museum of Art as well as galleries like McCaig-Welles, Motel, Cedar Crest College and Compound. He’s been a body builder, missionary, surfer, strip club sketch artist and creative director at some of those companies making those pitches and promises.

Paint it NOW! @ Distillery gallery

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
The Distillery Gallery & OverKill Studio Present:
“Paint it Now”
March 19 – April 23, 2010
Opening Reception: Friday, March 19, 7-10pm
free and open to the public
516 E 2nd St., first floor, South Boston, MA
contact: Scott Chasse, gallery director
(978) 270-1904 / scottchasse@gmail.com
www.gallery.distilleryboston.com
www.overkillstudio.com
Gallery Hours: Mon-Sat, 9-5

The Distillery Gallery and OverKill Studio announce the second edition of “Paint it Now,” an exhibit which brings together practicing artists of varied backgrounds to examine the complexity of the nature of painting today.

The critically-acclaimed first edition of “Paint it Now” in August of 2008 included “a giant black-and-white mural by all the artists, bubbling with pop characters such as Alfred E. Neuman and rolling with dark undertones,” (Cate McQuaide, Boston Globe). The 2010 version will expand upon the two-wall mural concept, bringing the collaborative painting installation through the entire gallery space. The “black paint on white walls” parameters of the first exhibit remain intact, helping to blur lines between individual contributions, resulting in a more cohesive and unified final piece.

OverKill’s Thomas Buildmore and Morgan Thomas have again teamed-up with Distillery Gallery Director, Scott Chasse, to curate the exhibit, as well as contribute to it, though much of the work will transpire via interaction between artists as imagery organically unfolds throughout the two-week installation period. “Paint it Now” examines what it means to emerging painters to create in the contemporary arena. As Buildmore stated in a 2008 interview with The Boston Phoenix, “It’s a collision of all of the different influences we draw from. It’s like bringing all of art history right to the surface.”

The exhibit boasts a roster of over twenty artists from Boston, NYC, and Philadelphia:
Royce Bannon, Buildmore, EL Celso, Scott Chasse, DarkClouds, Bob Davies, Delve, Josh Falk, Jessica Hess, Mitchell Kehe, Keely, Enamel Kingdom, Rob Larsen, Kenji Nakayama, Nineta, Nose Go, Damion Silver, John Skibo, Skript, Morgan Thomas, Dana Woulfe, and Nick Z

“Paint it Now” is being made possible with generous support from Artist & Craftsman Supply, Proletariat, The Franklin Southie, and Narragansett Beer.

Please join us for the opening reception on Friday, March 19th, 7-10pm.

The Distillery Gallery is located on the first floor of The Distillery artist’s building in South Boston. This unique public display space is committed to highlighting Distillery-based artists, Boston area artists, and invited guests.
