We are delighted to announce a major exhibition of works by Scott Covert (b. New Jersey, 1954) from 25 January–26 March 2023. This is the artist’s first solo presentation outside of the US.
For nearly forty years, Covert’s practice has largely evolved around his long-standing series of Monument paintings: carefully rendered rubbings of gravestones in chalk, oil stick or charcoal on canvas and paper. In this decades–long project, the artist has accumulated a vast collection of works.
Always producing the rubbings on site, Covert has ceaselessly undertaken hundreds of journeys across the US and internationally to seek out specific subjects, who have included friends, public figures, artists, poets, film stars and underground performers.
Covert’s memento mori are representations of his subjects’ lifetimes – but also the artist’s own pilgrimages to find them.
