Scooter LaForge Sculptures

Scooter LaForge (b. Las Cruces, New Mexico) is a New York–based artist who has lived and worked in the East Village for two decades. Drawing on art history and classical themes, he creates vividly contemporary works across painting, sculpture, and drawing, marked by unorthodox techniques and striking, iconic imagery.

His pieces function as an intuitive visual journal, shaped by an agile, exploratory approach and a wide emotional range.

LaForge’s work has been exhibited at the Leslie-Lohman Museum in New York, the Friedrichshof Museum in Vienna, and the Spritmuseum/Absolut Art Collection in Stockholm. A feature-length documentary, Scooter LaForge: A Life of Art (dir. Ethan Minsker), was released in 2023, and a 30-year survey of his paintings opened at Lesley University College of Art and Design in 2024.

He also designs a celebrated line of bespoke clothing sold through Patricia Field’s ArtFashion Gallery. His pieces have been worn by Madonna, Rihanna, Beyoncé, Miley Cyrus, and Debbie Harry, and his costume design has been part of Emmy-nominated and Tony-nominated work. LaForge is a recent recipient of a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant.
