Brian Scott is a visual artist and “George” in the Dallas-based collaborative duo Chuck and George. On a cold day in November 1990, UNT art students Brian K. Jones and Brian Scott painted each other’s portraits on saltines, while having lunch at Jim’s Diner. They declared themselves “Chuck & George.” Though inspired by longtime art collaborators “Gilbert & George”, the pseudonym was derived by the pairing of each artist’s preexisting imaginary brother/muse. They gain inspiration from loved ones, childhood, literature, music, movies and T.V.. 80’s pop songs are often inspiration, because like Ziggy, they have always asked the big questions. And yes… Love is a Battlefield.
