Nerine
McIntyre Winner of the Landscape
Artist of the Year in 2015
Nerine McIntyre still
paints under her maiden name Tassie. She graduated from Edinburgh
College of Art in 2002 with a degree in Fine Art. Natural spaces and
forms provide the basis and inspiration for her work, in particular the
coastal waters and woodlands around her home. These landscapes are ever
changing and at times daunting and they provide infinite subject matter
for her work. Her paintings are primarily an exploration of the mystery
of nature within this subject matter and she says she has always sought
to create a strong sense of atmosphere and connection to place within
her work.
More recently she has been exploring the relationship between
composition and frame within each painting, experimenting with this
balance in order to create more depth of focus for the viewer.
"I enjoy the act of painting and the physicality of the paintwork on the
canvas and so my process of working involves experimenting with base
layers of varied materials in order to constantly develop new
experiences within each painting". Exploration of materials and using a
variety of painterly techniques creates a rich texture to the work and
means that each painting takes on its own developing surface and object
quality.
