Laura Jane Scott - In Conversation

Podcast host and Nordic Art Agency gallery Founder Juliet Rees is back with Season 6 a new season of art conversations.Laura Jane Scott is a British artist working in minimalist, geometric abstraction and colour-field painting.  Her desire for simplicity through geometric form and her striking use of colour enables her to produce work where painting explores a model of architectural form and where colour embodies a physical structure. The resulting work is a refined visual vocabulary of form and colour.The Nordic Art Agency opened a new gallery space in December of 2024 and Laura Jane Scott was one of two new international artists to feature in the current International Group exhibition. Six of her works are currently exhibited and all of them can be viewed on Laura Jane Scott's artist page.Visit the new Nordic Art Agency gallery in our beautiful new location and meet Juliet and all her artists.  Follow the Nordic Art Agency on Instagram.
