Energyscapes is Scott McIntire’s first solo exhibition at Gallery North. The exhibition features large, medium, and small paintings and sculptures. McIntire constructs dynamic compositions in enamel which form a repository of information. Each vessel of data includes the sounds, smells, forces, electromagnetic and thermal energies that make up the environment. Each space seamlessly merges
natural and man-made artifacts. McIntire uses his mastery of the optical
properties of color to create the illusion of movement and vibration. Dazzling patterns
and vivid concentric circles combine to form a dramatic Op Art world in which references
to flora and fauna ground the work in a reality just out of sight from the human eye.

Born and raised in the fertile Willamette Valley in Oregon, Scott McIntire’s artistic perception is rooted in his love of nature. At the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles, McIntire studied color under the master colorist Albert King, giving him a lifelong understanding and love of color. McIntire is currently based in Greenport, NY. His work has been exhibited both nationally and regionally including the Nassau County Museum of Art.
