Margaret McIntosh - Bollard, 2025 - Oil on canvas - 58.5x58.5cm framed

This artwork is from Margaret McIntosh's solo exhibition Over the Fence, held at Becker Minty in 2025.

In Over the Fence, Margaret MacIntosh continues her ongoing series of streetscape paintings. These unfiltered and strikingly familiar images drift along the edges of routine geographies—quiet streets, trimmed hedges, identical facades —spaces that promise order, yet hum with the slow anxiety of accumulation. Over the Fence is a meditation on proximity and distance, on the quiet theatre of suburban life, and on the overflow of what can no longer be contained.

Margaret explains that “these paintings emerge from movement: walking, driving, glimpsing. They trace the rhythms of shifting light across surfaces built to hide as much as they reveal. The suburb is not a passive backdrop, but an active stage—where shadows stretch across driveways, rubbish piles at the curb, and repetition becomes uncanny. I'm interested in what surfaces in the in-between: between visibility and concealment, containment and collapse.”
