Scotty So is an artist interested in the uncertainties of reality, and its relation to space and perception as expressed through found objects. He works across mediums, using painting, photography, 3D printing, site-responsive installation, video, and performance to provoke humour and irony on the construct of worldmaking.
Born and raised in Hong Kong, So graduated BFA Honours at the Victorian College of the Arts with First Class Honours in Melbourne, Australia, 2019. So’s work has been displayed in two solo and several group shows, including exhibitions about in Hong Kong, Greater China and Australia.
