Ruby Mcintosh- BA (Hons) Fine Art and Art History
Ruby McIntosh is a contemporary painter whose work focuses on landscapes and atmosphere. Using oil paint, she creates scenes that carry a strong emotional weight, exploring how places can hold feelings, moods, and memories. Rather than depicting specific locations, her paintings aim to capture a sense of heaviness and emotion that viewers can connect to in their own way,
McIntosh builds her own canvases, giving her full control over the surface before she begins painting. This process allows her to work slowly, layering oil paint to create depth and texture. Her style is contemporary and expressive, sitting between realism and abstraction. Through colour, space and atmosphere, her work invites viewers to pause and reflect, encouraging an emotional response rather than a literal reading of the landscape.
