Scottish artist Andrew McIntosh led us to a surreal world full of possibilities by painting fascinating pictures of bucolic landscapes with mysterious and transcendental portals hidden into unexpected places, such as abandoned castles, buildings, campers, and trains.
My paintings are an exercise in attraction. Through them I am constantly searching for new ways of communicating with the viewer. By seducing them with my imagery, I try to create a new visual language with the power to pique their attention and make them stop to ask: why? Desolate landscapes, decrepit houses, and incongruous moments of glory come together to suggest the presence of a narrative that exists as much in the viewer’s mind as in the painting. This is how I aim to use my works: as the space for an imaginary dialogue between strangers.
