Richard's CV

“Before one of these paintings, created with the greatest technical mastery and brilliance of composition, how could we not bow our heads before the figurative genius of Richard T Scott - and celebrate, in advance, his next compositions? ”

- by Frédéric Charles Baitinger, Critic, Artension

"To look at one of Scott's paintings, from his portraiture to his compositions, is to see art as if it were born anew, a potent pleasure which makes the endorphins spring forth. With sheer talent, skill, unfettered sensitivity and thoughtfulness, Scott is a rara avis in the cold and nihilistic world of contemporary art." 

- by Valentine Rossetti, Culture Wars

"Richard T. Scott sees our epoch with the eyes of Rembrandt - an attitude nearly revolutionary on the scene of contemporary art."

- Gregory Picard, Critic, Artinfo France
