The Story behind Umi

In this painting, the astronaut from my work continues to explore a lost and lonely dystopia filled with mysterious remnants of human presence. In this case, an undefined object or structure lying in the shallows, with the Japanese word umi, meaning sea, inscribed on it.

About the Artist

Scott Listfield

Scott Listfield is known for his paintings featuring a lone exploratory astronaut lost in a landscape cluttered with pop culture icons, corporate logos, and tongue-in-cheek science fiction references. Scott grew up in Boston and studied art at Dartmouth College. After some time spent living abroad, Scott returned to America and, after watching 2001: A Space Odyssey for the first time, began painting astronauts and, sometimes, dinosaurs. He now lives and works in Los Angeles.

Scott regularly exhibits his work in galleries and museums around the world. His paintings have been profiled in Juxtapoz, Wired Magazine, and The Boston Globe, and in 2018 the first book on his work was published by Paragon Books.
