Scott Sueme

May 3 – June 15, 2011

As the graffiti scene in Vancouver influenced Scott early on, he found himself absorbing the advice of older style writers. Soon after, Scott adopted the phrase “Sue Me” as an alias. Scott as “Sue Me” has come to embody the apposition of the “refined artist” and the desire to rebel through artistic outlets.

Scott’s DIY-nature led him away from Emily Carr Art Institute in 2005 so that he couldsink himself into the graffiti culture. Since leaving school, Scott has been commissioned by Nike, Microsoft, VANOC, City of Vancouver, Holt Renfrew, Lululemon and Shaw Cable on projects relating to graphic design, public art and corporate art ventures.

Scott’s work showcases the skills of a refined practitioner breaking away from the polished product in favor of ad-lib experimental paintings that embrace “happyaccidents”. His work is an energetic bold burst of color and movement.

Scott works out of his studio in Vancouver’s DTES. A respected figure in graffiti culture, Scott seeks to further the art form through open discussions about techniques and processes.
