Featured In Buro Four, London, United Kingdom

Starts at $4,000

Creation: 8-12 weeks

A competition winning design for a bespoke commission organised by Buro4 celebrating their 30 years of business. I was given the Folkestone Academy School, designed by architect Norman Foster. As a starting place to base my design.

This multi panel piece, follows several marks through their journeys from left to right. The skeletal composition being a transition curve. Where the point of departure is changed, further on, higher than entrance. Whilst the journeys may have been challenging the process and goals are linked to effort and openness.

The image is created from several large original paintings that have been mounted together, like a collage using archive paste. The finish is with a high gloss art resin. The substrates is Fabriano cartridge (200gsm) and the edges of the 24mm birchwood panels are left raw, exposing the layers of wood and paintings.

The piece was purchased by the host company and is displayed in their London office.

Price range is dependent on scale of work, whether mounted to wood, canvas or paper. Prices quoted are for work only. I can quote for framing using a preferred UK supplier. Crating and shipping not included.

Wescover creator since 2019
Monochrome ink paintings. Created through mindful movement and the observation of the breath.

Rod McIntosh is an artist with his studio in the midst of the English countryside of rural Kent. He works between Kent and London as an exhibiting artist and is represented by several galleries and consultants working together to build a national and international profile for his work.

He studied figurative sculpture in Sheffield, graduating in 1992. He maintained a dynamic practice alongside a successful Arts Management and academic career until 2009. When he returned full-time to the studio.

His current work as a mark-maker lies within the tradition of drawing. With his body, the breath along with materials, and repetitive often-obsessive processes focus attention to the present. Observing and recording the moment of creation within a continuum.

He speaks of them as;

“Physical meditations, that offers himself, and the viewer, a moment to pause.”
