Born in New Orleans and raised in the lower Ninth Ward, John T. Scott has produced artwork shaped largely by diverse and local African, African-American, Caribbean and Creole cultures, and the blues and jazz musical traditions. Several of these colorful painted steel and aluminum sculptures are on permanent display at the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities. Scott's paintings, sculpture and prints have been featured in many national gallery and museum exhibitions, and in 1992, he was awarded the "genius" grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. Biography courtesy of Arthur Roger Gallery.
