Macintyre creates miniature theatrical scenarios that are played out by figurines in the form of highly detailed tableaus or dioramas. Intricate, playful and inventive, his works are a marriage of social commentary and fables. He explores a myriad of themes using his satiric wit that include politics, current affairs and art history. His practice, in essence, centres on his lived experience and the fears and anxieties that pervade an artist’s psyche.
Born in Brisbane, 1970, Alasdair Macintyre completed a Bachelor of Art at Queensland College of Art in 1990 and lives and works in Brisbane.
