Shake This Frost Off My Bones
Scott McIntosh
Exhibited at Ashe as part of Scott’s first solo exhibition BULLSEYE October 2026.
Shake the Frost Off My Bones brings together a traditional tattoo-style panther with a small blue skeleton - Scott himself, painting away in the freezing South Island winter. It is humorous, bold and slightly ridiculous, but also a very honest snapshot of his everyday life.
Some days you just gotta shake the frost off and keep going.
Mixed Media on Canvas
Stretched
Dimensions: 1015×1015mm
Darfield, Canterbury
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.
