About the Item

Navigating Uncertainty II [2020] Original Landscapes and seascapes mixed acrylic media on panel Image size: H:30 cm x W:40 cm Complete Size of Unframed Work: H:30 cm x W:40 cm x D:1cm Sold Unframed Please note that insitu images are purely an indication of how a piece may look This original painting by Alex Mcintyre was produced at the start of lockdown in 2020. As we tried to comprehend our new reality. It felt as though the ground had been stripped from under our feet. The acid white flashes in this painting reference a feeling of uncertainty, our unsettling. Concentrating on the embodied present moment (on feet - and breath - and movement) became even more important, and so too did dreaming. Where does your imagination take you when you look up into the boundless sky? "The paintings are the result of accumulated and translated experiences. They come from a deep love for the world we live in and from a sense of awe and wonder. I hope they will speak to you of light, sky, journeys, the touch of weather or the smell of different seasons – and that they will remind you of places you have known or would like to know. The creative process of a painting has several stages. I begin by walking, running and drawing and taking ‘fast photographs’ outside. This is a way of feeling the landscape at a cellular, and sensory level. In the studio I have prepared birch or poplar panels with layers of a traditional gesso ground (a mixture of rabbit skin glue and whiting). Gesso is a sensitive and responsive material. It remembers being a liquid and communicates every minute scratch or bump. This means that the painting process is like a conversation. I create texture with a brush and palette knife or by sanding and carving back into the gesso. Thinking about the 3 dimensionality of the picture plane, I begin by using a high-quality light fast acrylic ink to reveal the textured surface and add base colour. I build on this colour ground by adding, and removing, layers of acrylic mixed media. The painting gradually evolves through an intuitive and physical interaction with the materials. I aim for a sense of balance or charge between saturated areas of colour patina and stripped back areas without paint. I know they are finished when I feel a sense of “lining up”, when the painting and I have both said enough. Often, this is when the painting tells me its name."

She creates art for exhibitions, commissions, specific sites and through collaborations with other creative professionals. Alex has exhibited in the UK, United States and Romania.

Tamara and her family live in Massachusetts, a short drive away from Lake Winnipesaukee, the White Mountains, the cape, and Maine. However, her standalone favorite place to paint is the American west. She loves to paint from photos she's taken at the National Parks she's visited.
