Brisbane Artist
About Giovanna Scott
Giovanna Scott, a native of Brisbane, Australia, has established herself as a prominent figure in the world of art. She is a multi-disciplinary artist renowned for her distinctive approach, primarily specialising in acrylic paintings embellished with collage, crafted from hand-painted papers and adorned with free-form machine stitching. Giovanna is best known for her extraordinary talent in depicting the beautiful ordinariness of everyday life, and for her unique ability to render her subjects with a perfectly imperfect touch. Her work exudes a profound connection with the viewer, evoking nostalgia and treasured memories.
Giovanna’s artistry is characterised by an unwavering quest for nostalgic moments and memories that establish a deep and emotional link between art and the observer. Her creations are a testament to the profound connections that exist between the mundane and the extraordinary, often offering insightful commentary on the beauty in life's everyday moments. A pivotal incident in her career was the 'Botanical Collage' series, which emerged in 2019 after a wrist fracture, and marked a transformative moment when the artist rediscovered her passion for patterned paper. This series, like much of her work, resonates with viewers seeking to rediscover and celebrate the extraordinary within the ordinary.
Giovanna's artistic journey has been punctuated by notable exhibitions and widespread recognition. Her work has been prominently featured in exhibitions, culminating in her first solo exhibition “A {not so} Still Life” in 2024 followed by a group exhibition of four collage artists, “Collage Encounters”, also in 2024. Her art is treasured and collected by various private individuals, both in Australia and internationally. Furthermore, Giovanna has actively participated in community events such as 'Life on Life’s Terms' and her work with The Gap Creative Inc. in Brisbane, Australia. She also exhibited her work in the 'Cut & Composed' exhibition with West End Art Space and ‘Centrepiece’ for Brunswick Street Gallery, both in Melbourne. With a growing presence in the art world and her distinctive approach to collage art, Giovanna continues to inspire and connect with art enthusiasts on a global scale.
