The Moment Before, 2020 - Drawings

Featured In Nobu Hotel, London, United Kingdom

Starts at $2,000

Creation: 6-8 weeks

Ink on Chinese mulberry paper, on a Fabriano cartridge substrate (120gsm) on birch panel.

Framed in a black stained wood frame.

The enso (circle) is a motif that recurs in my paintings. It is practice of drawing a circle with a single uninhibited brushstroke to express absolute enlightenment, a single moment in time, strength, elegance, the universe and the void.

It is when my mind is free to simply let myself create through the physical body. Particularly at this scale. It is a symbol rich in associations. For me it is also an act of meditation.

I approached this piece with the intention of creating a circle that is completed by the gilding of the drips of ink as the brush is brought to the paper before starting the circle. To signify the potential of the ink.

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.”
