Micah Scott is a painter who creates portraits that explore social and personal issues. In his acrylic series Introvert, he tries to capture the naked feeling of being in front of a camera, juxtaposed with the the idea of trying to hide one’s face from being captured. There is a cool softness present in these portraits that plays with the stereotype of the raw masculine form. They accomplish an emotional resonance that is at once both vulnerable and guarded.
