“Prerequisites for Perfection critiques the unrealistic beauty ideals promoted by contemporary media. Through exaggeration and awkward distortions, the work mocks the idea that perfection is something we must actively strive for by following prescribed rules.”

Scout Goshgarian is a Canadian artist based in Hamilton, ON. Inspired by the works of Al Hirschfeld and Wes Anderson, her art brings whimsical characters to life through quirky narratives. Primarily focused on drawing, Scout occasionally explores sculpture, with a particular emphasis on subtle textures and vibrant colour palettes. Coloured pencil is her medium of choice, and her work often reflects her love of the colour green and, of course, cats!
