"There's always a tendency to speak of Stephen Scott's work as a painter within a linear legacy of Atlantic realism. While there is no question that his early work is rooted in that tradition, his career as an artist has propelled him far beyond that. His work has gone through vast transformation through continual examination of what painting means to him. And Scott has always found meaning on the surface he paints."

-Robert Barriault, 2021, from The (Un)certainty of Seeing, The Paintings of Stephen Scott
