The Works Of Mackenzie Thorpe
Having visited one of Mackenzie Thorpes exhibitions last year and was delighted at how the places and people he creates just connect with you emotionally. The images and influences of his work whether its cloud like or Japanese prints are all gathered up and made very Mackenzie Thorpe in a delightful variety of colours and emotions.
Mackenzie Thorpes Exhibitions over the past few years have sold out, and he is now known for having the biggest one man show ever held in the north of England. That being said after you look at Mackenzie Thorpes pieces you don’t get any sense of premise, just an intimate take of a second in time reflected back at you via the work of an extremely artist.
Having come from a history of struggle, Mackenzie Thorpe creates a scope to his work that truly captures the dull and light tones. Born in Middlesbrough in a era of economic adversity back in 1956, Mackenzie Thorpe found school tough as he struggled with dyslexia, but discovered an outlet through his pieces which enabled him to articulate himself, and looking at his work I’m happy he did.
Mackenzie Thorpe has a brilliant skill of putting tension into a still moment that just has you staring at his pictures for ages trying to discover just what he was pontificating about when he decided to create his picture, I love them. If you have the chance have a look at Mackenzie Thorpe’s work it is something that im sure you will see as very inspiring.
