BIOGRAPHY

Lorna Macintyre (b. 1977) lives and works in Glasgow and is a graduate of the Glasgow School of Art. Macintyre has exhibited widely including ‘A Tree of Night’, at Galerie Kamm, Berlin (2011), ‘Granite and Rainbow’ at Wiels, Brussels and ‘Form and Freedom’ at Kunsthaus Baselland (both 2010). Group exhibitions include ‘You, Me, Something Else’, GoMA, Glasgow (2011), ‘Neuglerig?, Kunst und Ausstellungshalle der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, Bonn, ‘Better Living With’ at Museum Ludwig, Cologne (2010) and ‘They Do Things Differently There’ at Talbot Rice Gallery, Edinburgh (2010). 

Lorna Macintyre uses a broad spectrum of reference points (including literature, psychology, Greek mythology and alchemical symbolism) as sources of inspiration for photographic and sculptural works which retain a level of intuitive decision making in their form. An element of chance, or a lack of conscious control over her materials along with an attempt to transcend their everyday quality have become essential tools within her methodology.

She is represented by Mary Mary in Glasgow and Galerie Kamm in Berlin.
