GREENVILLE, NC (PNAN) – Final viewing date is set for Saturday, January 21, 2023, “Scott Avett: After the Fact” is a solo exhibition spanning over a decade of the artist’s work at the Greenville Museum of Art, includes large-scale oil paintings and prints. Internationally recognized as a member of the Grammy-nominated, folk-rock band, the Avett Brothers, Scott Avett has been a working artist, focusing on painting and printmaking, since he earned a BFA in studio art from East Carolina University in 2000, the same year he founded the band with his brother Seth.
The exhibition also feature prints and paintings related to Avett’s musical career, including portraits of band members, and artwork for album covers and concert posters. Sketchbooks and journals reveal an intimate view of Avett’s creative process and the ongoing relationship between his music and his art.
Like his songs, Avett’s paintings speak to universal issues of spirituality and struggle, love and loss, heartache and joy, as well as more personal stories of career, family, and living in the South. These are psychologically charged and emotionally intense portraits focused on his family and himself, often intimate, vulnerable, and sometimes uncomfortably truthful portrayals.
