Scott Hove’s installations are at once decadent and repulsive, seductive and vile, playful and grave, immersing the viewer in multilayered and tantalizing worlds. His acrylic frosted works draw our attention to the dualistic nature of every vice – we enjoy them, even find solace in them, but ultimately yield unsavory results. Hove’s animalistic approach to sexuality is replete with dazzling rhinestones, stiletto heels, and sharp fangs integrated into each installation, alongside a special collaboration with cast members from Zumanity.
