Jedd Novatt

'Chaos Pacific'

March 27 - July 23, 2017

The SCAD Museum of Art presents "Chaos Pacific," a series of monotypes created by internationally renowned artist Jedd Novatt. Unique marks left on each print, such as transparent blocks of color, thin lines and dark, bold shapes formed by printmaking rollers, reveal the evolution of each work's creation and, together, establish a complete narrative.

This exhibition displays the distinct construction process Novatt uses for his monumental sculptures, and complements "Chaos Concepción," a permanent installation that will be unveiled at 5:30 p.m., Friday, April 28, 2017, in the SCAD Museum of Art Alex Townsend Memorial Courtyard.

Novatt's work has been installed in public spaces on the grounds of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, Spain, and at the Pérez Art Museum in Miami, Florida, among other museums in Europe, Asia and the U.S. His work is also included in public and private collections worldwide.
