- Biography
Lynsey MacKenzie approaches painting as an exploration of place, time, repetition, and memory, through shifting planes of colour, gesture, and scale. Working intuitively, she engages with the materiality and physicality of paintings as objects, whilst finding space and perspective within the surface of the canvas. The paintings unfold upon viewing, encouraging pause, and a slowing down of our increasingly hyperactive contemporary gaze, and bring an energetic appreciation of the moment.
Lynsey MacKenzie lives and works in Glasgow and graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 2019 with a first class BA (Hons) in Fine Art: Painting and Printmaking. Recent solo exhibitions include Beyond the Surface, Tatha Gallery, Newport on Tay (2023), Chronochromia, The Briggait, Glasgow (2022), and HERE AND NOW, SaltSpace Gallery, Glasgow (2020). Selected group exhibitions include ‘I won’t stay in a world without love’, BEEP Painting Biennial, Swansea (2024) & Aberystwyth (2025), ’Frontiers: Painting in Scotland Now’, Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh (2024), ‘Platform’, Edinburgh Art Festival, French Institute, Edinburgh (2022), and ‘New Contemporaries’, Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh (2020). Recent awards include the Wilhelmina Barns-Graham Award and the RSA Latimer Award. She has participated in residencies across the UK and has work in both public and private collections.
