Artist bio:

Scott Baxter (he/him) explores LGBTQ+ identity and imagery utilising digital technologies that are now a part of everyday identity creation. He responds to historical, and current, queer (in)visibility by subverting familiar social allegories to create altered contexts for queer realities and agency to exist through open-ended narratives. Baxter graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 2015 with a first-class honours degree in Intermedia Art. His current practice focuses on silkscreen printing and photo-plate lithography. Baxter has received a number of awards: the Barns-Graham Travel Award; the Katherine Michaelson Dissertation Prize; and a Creative Scotland VACMA in 2023. Selected exhibitions include Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair, London; Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers, London; ARCUS Pride Exhibition, London; RSA: New Contemporaries, Edinburgh; and New Scottish Artists at DRAF / Fleming Collection, London. His work is held in the Aberdeen Galleries and Museums permanent collection, and private collections in Europe.
