David Mackintosh

Independent District

Greenland Street

Purgatory & Hell, Part 1

Mackintosh, like Jordan and Griffiths, has an incidental psychological approach to practise, working quickly to produce a large number of stream of consciousness drawings. His bleating scrawls are then quickly cut out from wood with a jigsaw, creating panels that could grace Dante’s genocidal dining room.

The delirious hatred and camp Hammer Horror effects are heightened by Mackintosh’s fine craftsmanship. Despite being troubled by outpourings of blood having made the parquet flooring slippery, we know we are safe.
