Archibald Dunbar Mcintosh is one of the most original professional painters working in Scotland today. His very personal vision has brought many institutional awards and a worldwide following of private collectors. Glasgow born and trained he exhibits at all the major Scottish Societies and his work can be found in the collections of the Scottish Arts Council, Glasgow Art Gallery and the Edinburgh Academy.

Archibald Dunbar Mcintosh’s paintings possess an eccentric, dream like quality, and through his singular personal vision he creates a fantastical parallel world of distorted perspectives and fanciful motifs. His well known still life paintings are ingenious constructions of coloured designs, angular forms and more familiar objects, even model aeroplanes, a device that appears frequently in his recent work.

Archie was born in Glasgow in 1936, he studied at Glasgow School of Art from 1953 to 1957. During a long and varied career he has exhibited publicly and privately worldwide, frequently in solo shows in London, New York and most recently at the Galerie Reinke in Berlin. Archie’s many institutional awards include the Torrance Award and the May Marshall Brown Award at the RGI, both the Latimer and the Guthrie awards at the RSA, The Glasgow Civic Art Prize and The Scottish Arts Club Award.

Archie has many collectors worldwide and is represented in the public collections of the Scottish Arts Council, Glasgow Art Gallery and the Edinburgh Academy.
