Original Painting
Exhibited at Ashe as part of Scott’s first solo exhibition BULLSEYE October 2026.
Dutch Courage takes a different approach. A Jameson whiskey bottle is painted in a more traditional still-life style, but the subject carries a much more contemporary and personal association. The work considers the role alcohol can play in social situations - that little bit of confidence we sometimes convince ourselves we need before speaking to people, walking into a room or putting ourselves out there.
It is an experience many people will recognise, and another example of Scott taking an everyday object and giving it a little more to say.

Scott McIntosh is a New Zealand artist based between the mountains and the sea on Te Waipounamu’s east coast. The local landscape especially the mountains is a heavy influence in his works but not in a traditional sense, you will see them mixed in with a good helping of tattoo and skate culture and a blending of painting styles to create bold bright unique works of art.
My experiences in this world are what shapes my work and the ability to see things for what they really are and then portray them often in a juxtaposition in my paintings is what I feel leaves people often with more questions than answers or a flash to a memory of their own lived human experience.
