Name:<\/strong> Scott McIntire<\/a><\/p>\n

Which came first in your life, the science or the art?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I grew up in Salem Oregon a very bio rich area in the Willamette valley surrounded by farms and nature. I started collecting bugs in Grade School and begin studying Art when I was in High School. After graduating from PSU in Portland I begin showing in Museums and Galliers in the Portland area. In my early 30\u2019s I got my first DSL camera and used it to pursue my interest in the beauty of nature and study of wildlife.<\/p>\n

Which sciences relate to your art practice?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Without a doubt Biology and what is now the area of Environmental Studies.<\/p>\n

What do you use to create your artworks?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Early in my career I was interested in Op Art but quickly moved on to Photorealism using my photos as reference. Around 2005 I begin to lose interest in just straight realism. Still working from photos I begin to put \u201cenergy fields\u201d around the painted object. My goal was to make the invisible visible by imaging cellular transmissions, radio waves, sounds\u00a0and the human manipulation of our environment.<\/p>\n

Is there anything else you want to tell us?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are certain elements in my paintings that often reappear.<\/p>\n

Color bars<\/strong>\u00a0are my way of telling the viewer that my paintings are also about my personal palette of colors. I use water based enamel paint because it gives a color saturation, color depth and variety of hues that I am after. Having studied with the colorist Albert King and designing fabric patterns I learned how to mix and recognize the subtle differences of literally thousands of colors.<\/p>\n

Concentric circles\u00a0<\/strong>come from my past interest in Op Art. I use them to project energy on the painting surface. I will often use colors of the same value to enhance the vibration effect and create visual movement.<\/p>\n
