| About the ArtistScott Harbison is a self-taught artist based in Jersey City, known for his bold, whimsical, character-driven paintings. Raised in northern New Jersey, he grew up sketching and getting lost in cartoons – early influences that shaped the playful, off-kilter world found in his work today. As a teenager, Scott poured his creative energy into music, fronting punk bands and performing at iconic New York venues like Max’s Kansas City and CBGB’s. That raw, expressive spirit now runs through his paintings: loose gestures, quirky figures, and a visual language that feels spontaneous and alive. Scott returned to painting full-time in 2018, developing a steady, instinctive practice where creatures and characters emerge quickly from bold lines and immediate mark-making. His figures often feel mid-gesture or mid-story, inviting viewers into a world that is humorous, emotional, and slightly surreal. . His work has been exhibited at Akwaaba Gallery in Newark, Gallery Lucida in Redbank, Ivy Brown Gallery in Manhattan, Barsky Gallery in Hoboken, and various other contemporary spaces throughout the tri-state area. In 2022, he completed a residency at ESKFF/Mana Contemporary.Scott now lives and works in Jersey City. His newest work is available through Barsky Gallery .About Barsky AnnexBarsky Annex is a satellite exhibition space of Hoboken’s Barsky Gallery, dedicated to supporting local artists through solo exhibitions.
