The World of Mackenzie Thorpe

Tamba City Ueno Memorial Art Museum

This event has ended.

When Mackenzie Thorpe was 34 (in 2000), he was selected as the ‘Best-Selling Published Artist’ from the Fine Art Trade Guild-hosted Art and Framing Industry Awards. Struggling from dyslexia throughout his childhood, Mackenzie found confidence in painting and drawing. Unsurprisingly, he left school without formal qualifications, taking on a variety of manual, unskilled jobs while continuing to draw and paint. Mackenzie eventually got the courage to enter a local art college and later won a place at the Middlesbrough College of Art and, subsequently, the Byam Shaw School of Art in London. From pastel works, sculptural works, and prints, his works express an entire range of human emotion, from the special bond of love and friendship, to the importance of self-reflection and individual triumphs.
