Studio Sale | Alex McIntyre

A Studio Sale of works of art direct from the studio of artist Alex McIntyre

Alex is an English artist based in Hertfordshire, UK. She is interested in transitional light and the viewer's embodied experience when encountering a painting. She is best known for her 'skyscape' works. Alex paints using a process of carving, layering and relief. She loves the physical, almost sculptural, presence of a painting. Although the paintings are not specific places, and resist realistic representation, they are inspired by sky, weather, light and by physically moving through or within a landscape. She says, “I work the surface of the painting by carving into it, building up paint, patina and texture through staining, sanding and layering different acrylic media. The resulting artworks are intuitive, sitting somewhere between poetry, representation and abstraction. They are an invitation to the viewer to be present, look up, breathe and be - in this living moment.”

Alex has exhibited in the UK, United States and Romania and has shown widely in art fairs: self representing at 15 editions of The Other Art Fair in London and New York, and represented at The Affordable Art Fair and Fresh Art Fair. In addition, she has shown with the following galleries: Byard Art, Kendall’s Fine Art, Bils and Rye Gallery, The Biscuit Factory, Artichoke Gallery, Mylo Fine Art, the Stone Space, Quercus Gallery, Irving Contemporary, Art5 Gallery, Kingfisher Art, Rise Art, Wychwood Art and Saatchi online.

She has work in commercial and private collections in the United States, Japan, Norway, Germany, France, Holland and across the UK. She completed a five-year artist fellowship at Digswell Arts in 2016 and has held AIR positions with Middlesex University, Brent Museum and Archives, English National Ballet, Wizard Presents Production Company and Watford Museum. She is a selected member of artist groups Free Painters and Sculptors and ArtCan.

In 2020, Alex was invited and selected to be exhibited in Beyond Other Horizons, at Iasi Palace of Culture, Romania 2020, a British Council / Romanian Cultural institute/ UNAGE show.
