Scott Saw creates vibrant, energetic paintings where dreams and current surroundings cross-pollinate with childhood memories and subconscious interpretations of the afterlife. His work entangles birth, life and death and explores the relationship between the physical and spiritual worlds. Saw's paintings have been regarded as romanticized gothic landscapes of nature, misfits and oddities.

"I’m inspired by space, nature, the universe, love, sadness, euphoria, beauty, vitality, physics, death, the idea that there is more to our existence than this short life on Earth. My art truly It is a reflection of what is going on inside me. It's a way for me to express deep feelings and ideas... a way to keep a secret and spill my guts at the same time. It’s therapy."

In 2004 Scott self-published his first art book titled “Curtains, the Wonder of Life and the Mystery of Death.” The work provides a unique view of the life cycle by portraying ‘stages' of life being acted out by strange, yet familiar creatures. In the words of artist/musician David J, “Through these works, we, as the captive audience, are privy to the sacred masquerade of life and death. The holy eternal charade.” The book and other merchandise may be purchased at www.scottsaw.com. The book is also available through Last Gasp.

A follow up project titled "Flipside" resulted in Scott's second self published book in 2005. This body of work celebrates the coming of his first child and all work was created while that child developed in utero. The work explores how this soul may have come into being and provides a subconscious glimpse of an ethereal existence where spirits roam freely through the warped fabric of space and time.

More recently Scott created a series of paintings titled Microcosm that was introduced at his solo show in Palm Springs at M Modern Gallery during the summer of 2006. The paintings were created during the first months of his new son Kai’s life. They are full of iconography relating to space, nature and technology. Rockets take the form of birds and fish, cities grow into tree-like structures and robots have tree trunk torsos. This series lead to Scott's 3rd self published book.
