Scott Thomlinson was born in 1971 in Shepparton, Victoria. Scott’s art career started at a very early age, drawing reproductions of Sydney Nolan’s Ned Kelly on the living room floor. At a young age he moved to Sydney where he spent thirty years as a finished artist, illustrator, designer, art director, copywriter, creative director and agency owner. After achieving all he had set out to achieve in advertising, it was time for a change. His paintings are creations of something that wasn’t there before, that makes the viewer want to continuously look at them. Painting is an area outside of comfort zone for Thomlinson and it makes him feel alive. He works with the trial-and-error approach with minimalist sensibilities, constantly trying to improve himself. In that way his oeuvre remains fresh and interesting.
