Scot Lefavor hails from the southern shores of Boston, Massachusetts. Lefavor studied graphic design and printmaking at the Hartford Art School under influential design professors Mark Snyder and Alex White and printmaking professors Fred Wessel and John Willis. He moved to Colorado in 2001 to pursue his artistic endeavors (well not really, he just wanted to snowboard alot). Scot quickly became a part of the emerging Boulder art scene and soon co-owned and operated the late Gallery Sovereign from 2002 to 2004. Scot began his career in the arts as a freelance graphic and website designer. Upon the close of Gallery Sovereign Scot began to aggressively tackle his current and ever-morphing style of painting and printmaking.
Lefavors’ works are multimedia in nature utilizing acrylic paint, spray paint, screenprinting, gel transferring and enamel. Lefavor’s style is strongly rooted in traditional sign painting and typography. He is heavily influenced by contemporary street art and the pop art movement of the 60’s. Scot’s work tends to be highly narrative and emotionally charged. He draws directly from his personal experiences and current socio-economic trends and events to create his narratives.
