Scott Redford has held more than 50 solo exhibitions since 1986 in Australia. With works filled with cultural allusions and borrowings, Redford has spent decades creating works that concurrently present the beauty of Australian kitsch while also interrogating what exactly it is that makes certain tropes of popular culture so ineluctable. In 2003, Redford received a survey, 1962: Selected Works 1983-1992, University of Queensland Art Museum, Brisbane, and, in 2007, the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, staged Scott Redford: Blood Disco.
