“Preying on Peace” is 9ft wide x 4ft high and painted on 3 panels that became joined together in the process. This was a struggle to paint given it was inspired by current global events and the manipulation of what peace means and for who.
You're Part of Everything
“You’re Part of Everything” by Scott Mckean | Mixed Media on Canvas
In 2019 I began painting again after a long hiatus due to the volume of community work I was involved in and not having a place to work. I cannot paint in small places and I am not a neat painter. Following some renovations, I opened the studio.
Most rational people would have started with a small piece but after a long break, it appears that I had a lot to get out. This piece is 8ft wide x 6feet tall and was inspired by the song lyrics to a Sneaky Diseases (aka Gumption, aka Gumption MFG) song titled “Bubble” written by my talented friend Chris Stevenson. The song is currently being mixed and will be shared soon.
This piece was further inspired by my connection to the diversity, strength and brilliance of Toronto’s communities.
