Press Release


New York-based photographer and graphic artist H. Scott Cushing successfully captures views of the prevailing world and skews them with various multimedia techniques, introducing the spectator to his vision. Through electric colors and differing frames of reference, Cushing injects an unparalleled vitality into mundane objects.

His body of work knows no bounds with respect to style: Cushing borrows from a variety of preceding movements, including Art Deco and Pop art. He utilizes his knowledge of digital technology to instill a Surrealist-like quality in a variety of botanical forms, including, but not limited to, trees, flowers, and numerous flora. By manipulating lighting and tones, his scenic coastal photography takes a Romantic and meditative approach that inadvertently recalls the works of Casper David Friedrich, specifically Friedrich’s Monk by the Sea. Notably, his digital use of color is comparable to the techniques used by the Expressionists, adding an idiosyncratic and nihilistic quality to his giclée prints.
