Richard Scott

Richard Scott, 39, is an emerging artist from Palm Beach on the Gold Coast. Heavily influenced by 1950’s style illustration, promotional “matchbox” design and classical Gold Coast signage and shopfronts, Richard has been working on a series of hand-painted “fake ads” for iconic local businesses, including Putt-Putt (Mermaid Beach), Condom Kingdom, and Hollywood Showgirls (Surfers Paradise). An artist-in-residence at Mint Art House (Burleigh Heads) earlier in the year, Richard’s debut show – Glitter and Gold – opened in May, 2022.
