Artist Statement

Scott Benites (b.1991) has always been fascinated with Art. Growing up on the Upper West Side, he has found inspiration in city architecture, scenic moments in nature and the hustle and bustle of the city. His Art is quirky, unique, and gritty filled with social-political overtones. Many of his unique pieces share an intimate story of New York City streets.
“My goal is to enhance people’s lives through art, creativity. I want to make Art accessible and make a positive difference in people’s lives.” After he was inspired by after school classes at the MoMa Scott was accepted to the Art Institute of Boston. He then went to Pratt for higher learning in design. After taking some classes at Pratt he got his Bachelors of Fine Arts at Lehman College graduating magna cum laude.
