DAVID MACKINTOSH

David Mackintosh's practice centres on a continuing series of drawings in brush and ink on A1 paper. The freshness and immediacy of the technique contrasts with the bleakness and singularity of the worldview expressed. Mackintosh dwells on human isolation, anger and non-communication. This unremitting gloom is leavened by the grim humour underlying the work. Self-explanatory titles such as 'Man walking towards the edge of a precipice under a cloud' and 'Pathetic Tree' exist alongside more ambiguous images. Some include terse texts: 'you are all bastards,' 'there is nothing', 'kill frank'.
