William Scott — Still Life with Orange Notes
William Scott

Still Life with Orange Notes

William Scott's *Still Life with Orange Notes* translates his signature bold, reductive approach to still life into the tactile medium of wool pile tapestry, where warm orange tones punctuate a composition of simplified, abstracted forms. The textured surface of the tapestry lends a rich, material quality to Scott's characteristic flat planes and sparse arrangements, bridging the worlds of fine art and decorative craft. The interplay of colour and texture creates a harmonious yet striking work that reflects Scott's enduring fascination with the relationship between everyday objects and pure abstraction.

Medium
Wool pile tapestry in colours.
