Hess' presentation is very polished and convincing. It took me a moment to realize that these are his own beautiful works. The back story he has created is interesting and thought provoking as well. Creating a fictional story about the works and their ties to history reminds me of the work of Sandow Birk and his "Great War of the Californias" series, in which he creates works supposedly by other artists from the past that tell the story of a fictional civil war in a California. That was a unique and ambituous project involving tons of works - including paintings, drawings, prints ,maps, dioramas, models and even a film "documentary" about the war - "In Smog and Thunder". Its a funny and clever convention that can have many layers of meaning - but what is Hess' intent here?
Searching for a painter I love, F. Scott Hess, I happened upon this video. He says in this video that a few years ago he started collecting these works. I wondered if he had seen the ones from his distant cousin's collection while growing up since his own works seem to have similar emotions and realistic techniques and mood. I find this to be fascinating. I love F Scott Hess's works and wit.
An interesting artist with an interesting collection. Bring us more shows like this one.
Brilliant! I have only seen one of these pieces in person. It is nice to see more of it through this wonderful medium. Scott Hess for President!
Great unknown painter... I hope you are paying your old aunt handsomely!
That collector should work Georgio Armani..............
