Lucy Mackenzie works in intimate scale, creating oil paintings, drawings,
assemblages that transcend their true dimension.Tying all of Mackenzie's
work together is an underlying motif of peace and timelessness. Her paintings,
drawings and assemblages are mesmerizing, contemplative objects that draw
the viewer into a serene and private world. Her subjects range from still
life to figures to scenes from nature.To achieve this sense of quiet and
timelessness, Mackenzie may spend over a year working on a painting and
several months working on her colored pencil drawings.Mackenzie forces the
viewer to contemplate the ordinary as it becomes extraordinary through the
artist's depiction of an everyday object, drawn to perfection and raised
to an object of silent contemplation. LINK to Lucy Mackenzie's Current Exhibition LUCY MACKENZIE's Biography |
