Artist 23: Scott Hazard



This artist has one of the coolest albeit simplest ideas ever.

This artist takes photos and makes them look like they're ripped. I don't know, maybe he does rip them. It's hard to discern from his artist statement. But what you can discern from his artist statement is pretty interesting. He is trying to hint at the liminal space between everyday life and a sort of spiritual idea of beauty.  He talks about how the beauty and simplicity of landscapes and cityscapes can break up the daily grind for an aesthetic breath.


But to be honest I don't really get the whole of that idea from his pieces. They do look kind of like portals to another dimension though. He just needs to make one about a wardrobe leading to Narnia.
