Elizabeth McIntosh: Night Sweat
Jan 26, 2019 - Mar 02, 2019
'Night Sweat' 鈥� McIntosh鈥檚 latest body of work 鈥� draws subject matter from art history, nature, and moments from the artist鈥檚 life, all of which are subjected to her intuitive and transformative approach to painting. Motifs reoccur, flipped and rotated, their hues shifted. Recognisable imagery is paired with painterly forms that could be any number of objects, or maybe none of them. Her paintings exude spontaneity, while still signaling the plans that shaped them. McIntosh slyly undermines conventions of the medium that didn鈥檛 seem apparent until one is standing in front of her work. Their contradictions and reversals make them all the more endearing as testaments to painting鈥檚 long and manifold history, as well as its capacity for boundless reinvention.
