The “Dreamers” exhibition closes on June 10
He expresses the plight but also the strength of small businesses in his series of paintings “Dreamers” by Andrew McIntosh, depicting lonely shops and inns in desolate landscapes. Often artistically exploiting nostalgia and the forgotten, the Scottish painter is known for using the Highlands of his childhood as a backdrop for his oil paintings.

In his new series of works, on display at the James Freeman Gallery, McIntosh juxtaposes, with a brave dose of irony, the inhospitable landscape with the necessities of commerce: a travel agency towers over a small island which to reach you need a boat, a tanning salon shimmers in a misty forest, a lawnmower repair shop stands in a lush field.
Often adorning the buildings with peeling paint, neon signs or graffiti, the painter positions each as a relic of an earlier era and posits that just as romantic notions of a wild and untamed nature are becoming obsolete, so too is the “ post-war idealism’ of capitalism and entrepreneurship.
