Scotty So is an artist interested in the uncertainties of self-identity, and its relation to space and perception as expressed through found objects. He works across mediums, using painting, photography, 3D printing, site-specific installation, video, and sound to provoke humour and irony on the construct of the self.
Born and raised in Hong Kong, So studies as a BFA Honours student at the Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne, Australia. So’s work has been displayed in two solo and several group shows, including charity exhibitions about social housing and queer rights in Greater China.
