Tom Mcintire

I am a painter and filmmaker based in Seattle. My intuitively created paintings juxtapose serious and absurd narratives with overlays of characters, locations and vibrant color. Place, time and repetition are manipulated to present a filmic journey in a single frame.

My art journey has taken me from painting to performance to screenwriting and filmmaking and back again. The different disciplines have informed one another, presenting opportunities to grow and change my approach. The pandemic came along as I was already shifting to working in the painting studio as my primary practice. The strange world we are all navigating - claustrophic, exposed, vulnerable - the emotions and situations forced me to re-examine who we are to one another, and how we can live together in a healthy, compassionate, inclusive way. The Cabin Fever Dreams and Beach series images most directly deal with these ideas.

Tom has a full-time painting practice and is actively seeking exhibition opportunities, art sales and commissioned work.
