Lynsey MacKenzie presents a body of new paintings for 'Chronochromia' at The Briggait which explores ideas of time, repetition and memory through shifting planes of colour, gesture, and scale.
About
Engaging with the materiality and physicality of paintings as objects, Lynsey MacKenzie works intuitively, driven by colour and composition. Feelings of spaces in flux permeate the work, at once moving and static. The labour time contained within the paintings unfolds upon viewing, encouraging pause, and a slowing down of our increasingly hyperactive contemporary gaze. Lynsey was awarded the 2021 RSA x Wasps Award, with this show being part of the prize.
Lynsey MacKenzie lives and works in Glasgow and graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 2019 with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art: Painting and Printmaking.
