Mackenzie Thorpes Artwork
I went to one of Mackenzie Thorpes exhibitions last year and was thrilled at how the worlds and people he paints just link in with you emotionally. The images and influences of his work be it cloud like or Japanese prints are all gathered up and made very Mackenzie Thorpe in a delightful variety of colours and emotions.
His Exhibitions over the last few years have sold out, and he is now seen for having the largest one man show ever held in the north of England. Having said that after you look at Mackenzie Thorpes pieces you don’t get any sense of premise, just a insightful take of a moment in time reflected back at you via the skills of an extremely artist.
Having come from a back ground of struggle, Mackenzie Thorpe creates a depth to his work that really reflects the dark and bright tones. Born in Middlesbrough in a era of economic hardship back in 1956, Mackenzie Thorpe found school tough as he struggled with dyslexia, but discovered an conduit through his art which allowed him to articulate himself, and looking at his work I’m glad he did.
Mackenzie Thorpe has an amazing skill of embueing tension into a still moment that just makes you stare at his work for ages attempting to discover just what he was thinking about when he decided to paint his image, I love them. If you have the chance have a look at Mackenzie Thorpe’s work it is something that im sure you will find very inspiring.
