Tim Scott (artist)

Tim Scott (born 1937, London)[1] is a British sculptor known for his abstract sculptures made from transparent acrylic and steel.

[3] Inspired by the example of David Smith, Scott began to make sculptures using materials such as fibreglass, glass, metal, and acrylic sheets.

[5][2] In the 1970s, Scott created his groundbreaking series of thick-slab acrylic and steel sculptures.

Frustrated ultimately with the fragility of plastics at the time, Scott switched to steel for his material, abandoning his trademark acrylic sheets altogether.

[7][5] His sculptures have also been exhibited in group shows, including the Arts Council England touring exhibition Kaleidoscope: Colour and Sequence in 1960s British Art, which was at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park in June 2017.
