David Mackintosh : The Edge of Things

23 Jan-28 Mar 2010

Overview

The Edge of Things presents a collection of new and recent works by leading Manchester-based artist David Mackintosh. Delving into a growing concern with narrative, Mackintosh creates deceptively simple and compelling drawings and installations full of dark humour that present an unsettling view of the world. Exploring the relationship between drawing, animation and sculpture, this solo show features a new large-scale wall painting, accompanied by a stop-frame animation that will bring Mackintosh’s signature gouache drawings to life; and a free-standing sculptural tree that will house a new body of drawings on paper.
