BGS Old Boy Scott Breton '99, the 2017 BGS Art Show feature artist, is in a continuous flow of learning, observing, synthesising, experimenting and expressing. Having studied subjects as diverse as carpentry, genetics, art and teaching, it is possible to see the richness of his mind in the complexity of his works. At face value, Breton is a successful figurative fine artist who uses a range of traditional drawing, painting and sculpting media plus contemporary digital technologies to express his vision.
The 35 year old Breton grew up in the lush green town of Crohamhurst, near Maleny, and then boarded at BGS through high school. He now lives primarily in Brisbane, where he teaches at Atelier Art Classes, a fine art school in Salisbury, and spends four to six months each year in Florence, where he co-founded The International Arts and Culture Group. He has been exhibiting at the BGS Art Show since 2011 and has consistently received awards and held solo and joint shows since his 2003 debut at the Emmanuel College Art Show where he won Best Emerging Artist. Breton has also been Artist in Residence at Sculptors Queensland and at BGS.
