Tianna McIntosh

Discipline:

Painter, Printmaker

Location:

Leeds / Huddersfield

ABOUT:

Tianna McIntosh is a practicing artist and recent graduate based in West Yorkshire, England. Working primarily in painting of the expanded form, her practice is firmly rooted in the process of automatic drawing.

Inspired by Surrealist sentiment, she completely veers away from figuration and subject matter, beginning each piece with no premeditation, being influenced solely by instinct, affect and a compulsive fascination with the exploration of automated processes.

Held central to her way of practicing is a belief in the art-making process being an inherently revelatory one. Through her dense, sporadic, and idiosyncratic mark making and her play with stream-of-consciousness text she is able to retrospectively examine and identify her anxieties, concerns, fixations, and preoccupations which all bear subconscious influence over the form and nature of her line.

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
