Biography
Elizabeth McIntosh is a painter who uses abstract and figurative techniques to work through questions of representation, the limits of perception, and the status of images. For more than two decades, she has reinvented familiar forms via playful yet exacting decisions, creating works that oscillate from the abstract into the surreal and representational, from the illusionistic mind to the sensational body. McIntosh’s solo exhibitions include Oakville Galleries, Canada; Catriona Jeffries, Vancouver; CANADA, New York; Tanya Leighton, Los Angeles/Berlin; Diaz Contemporary, Toronto; Division Gallery, Montreal; and the Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver. Group exhibitions include Galería Pelaires, Mallocra, Spain; Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal; Bonavista Biennale; Vancouver Art Gallery; Arsenal Contemporary, New York; Venus, Los Angeles; and Logan Center, University of Chicago. In 2013, she received the VIVA Award from the Jack and Doris Shadbolt Foundation for the Visual Arts, Vancouver.
