SCOTTI WISSMAN IS FROM THE ENTIRE STATE OF TEXAS. HE IS FROM DALLAS, BUT IF YOU ASK HIM WHERE HE’S FROM, HE WILL REPLY…”TEXAS, BABY.”
IT SHOWS IN HIS STYLE AND DIRECTION, HE SHY’S FROM NO MEDIUM, AND HE WILL TELL YOU HE DOESN’T HAVE ONE. IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE SPECIFIC MATERIAL. HE CREATES WITH WHATEVER IS IN CLOSE VICINITY.
ONE EXPERIENCE THAT COMES TO MIND IS HAVING DINNER OUT AT OUR USUAL PLACE. AT THE END OF DINNER THERE WAS A BIT OF SAUCE ON THE PLATE. MR. WISSMAN BORROWED A PENCIL AND A PEPPER SHAKER AND TURNED WHAT WAS THERE INTO AN ABSTRACT I WOULD HAVE HUNG ON MY WALL.
WISSMAN TOOK A PICTURE OF HIS CREATION, AND MADE ME STEAL THE PLATE.
HE WORKS WITH CHARCOAL, OILS, HOUSE PAINT, BARN WOOD, CANVAS, METAL, AND ON THE ODD OCCASION… SAUCE. MR. WISSMAN’S WORK CAN BE VIEWED IN RESTAURANTS AND PRIVATE RESIDENCES THROUGHOUT ATLANTA, AND OF COURSE.. THE ENTIRE STATE OF TEXAS, BABY..
