Scott Musgrove

Seattle, WA

With a career spanning almost 3 decades, Musgrove is a surrealist/naturalist of the uncanny, the ridiculous, and the imaginary. His cartoonish creatures inspire delight but also reflection upon our own natural world. We've lost so many wonders on our earth that we don’t even know how many that number actually IS or some of what we have even lost. Musgrove's work looks at imaginary evolutions- lost to time and knowledge but breathed back to life in wild and humorous imagination.

In his current work a new genre of animals is added to his roster of faux fauna. Roaming in pristine wilderness, but with giant roving spotlight heads, they act as beacons drawing attention to our planet, where our natural world is currently straddling the brink of multiple extinctions.
