Known for his paintings featuring a solitary astronaut wandering through scenes filled with pop culture iconography, Scott Listfield creates works which invite viewers to perceive the contemporary world from a slightly askew and alienated perspective. He currently has a solo show, AM Gold, at NYC’s Harman Projects, up through April 29.
Listfield calls AM Gold, “a show about music and time travel. I was inspired by the kind of physical artifacts we mostly don’t have, don’t need, or don’t care about anymore: Album covers, CDs, posters, cassette tapes, stereo equipment (with actual knobs), band flyers, zines, photos cut and pasted from magazines, mix tapes shared amongst friends, passed down from cooler older siblings, or made to impress crushes.” The show is also accompanied by several Spotify playlists with music from the 70s through the 2000s.
