Biography
| "Jill McIntosh has
a
distinct and intuitive approach to her work which creates a strong
feeling of energy and vibrancy. Her abstract paintings are influenced by the elements and forces of Nature interpretated through her own disctinctive style of free- flowing movement and unusual detail. She has a fascination with subtle changes and shadings of colour. Constantly exploring hues and pigments to describe a special mood and atmosphere in her paintings, the result is an intense and immensely rewarding visual experience. " Jill McIntosh was born and educated in Scotland. Following post-graduate contemporary art studies in Edinburgh and projects in Wales she relocated to Germany in 2000 and now lives and works near Düsseldorf. Die Hochlandsregion ist für Jill McIntosh als gebürtige Schottin nur noch das zweite Zuhause. Denn im Anschluß an ihr Kunstaufbaustudium in Edinburgh und mehrjähriger Projektarbeit in Wales drehte sie im Jahr 2000 schließlich der Insel den Rücken. Seit 2002 wohnt und werkt sie guterdings im Raum Düsseldorf und ist auch Mitgliederin der Kunstgruppe "Artwork Kreativ". Details from her paintings in the Gallery |

| Influences The interweaving and blending of organic shapes and geometric designs has always been an inspiration in Jill McIntosh´s work. This form is exemplified in the work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928) a Scottish architect and his designer wife, Margaret MacDonald (1864-1933). She is also influenced by the Austrians, Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) artist, and Friedrich Hundertwasser (1928-2000) aritist and architect. Both utilised clever use of colour combination with particular attention to detail in their painting and architectural constructions. |

Jill McIntosh´s einzigartige Gemälde vermitteln ihren intuitiven Ansatz, geprägt durch Liebe zur undendlichen Vielfalt der schottischen Landschaft. Ihre lebenslange Faszination mit dem Meer und seinen Uferlinien, dem ewigen Kreislaufs
des Gezeitenspiels, der fortwährenden Wiedergeburt unserer Natur - all dies wird dominant und lebendig in ihren Werken widergespiegelt.
