F. SCOTT HESSS was born in Baltimore, MD, in 1955. He studied art at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison honing his drawing and printmaking skills. Hess
began to paint in 1979 at the Vienna Academy of Fine Art, studying in Austria
for five and a half years. After
receiving both the National Endowment for the Arts and Getty Museum Fellowships
in 1991, Hess took his wife and baby daughter to Iran for a year. Perhaps the
first American male to enter the Islamic Republic after the Iranian Revolution,
Hess traveled to all corners of the country, exploring abandoned archaeological
sites, ancient mosques, and Zoroastrian fire-temples.
His narrative portraiture blends realistic scenes of everyday life with
symbolic and allegorical events, humor, eroticism, and voyeurism. At this point,He seems
to magnifies the Human fragility
"Paintings bearing a hint of the hilarity of being human." SH
