Scott Listfield

Biography

Scott Listfield is a Boston-based painter recognized for his evocative and cinematic series of astronaut-themed paintings. Having studied art at Dartmouth College, Listfield has developed a distinctive visual language that blends surrealism, pop culture, and subtle social commentary. At the center of his compositions stands a lone astronaut, an observer navigating a familiar yet altered landscape, often littered with corporate logos, crumbling monuments, and dystopian hints of the everyday.

 

Listfield's astronaut is both a stand-in for the artist and a surrogate for the viewer, disconnected yet curious, always surveying the strange world around him. Through this figure, Listfield reflects on themes of consumerism, identity, and the uneasy relationship between technology and humanity.

 

His work has been exhibited in galleries across the United States and abroad, and he has been featured in publications such as Juxtapoz, Hi-Fructose, and Wired. With a narrative style that invites reflection and dialogue, Listfield continues to capture the surreal beauty and underlying absurdity of the contemporary world.
