ANDREW MACKENZIE

"The simple beauty of Andrew Mackenzie's most recent paintings belies the time and effort that goes into making them....These interventions into the anonymous, urban treescapes capture a tension between abstract pattern and reality, the point where nature meets human.... Memory and romance are in a dialogue with the necessities of modern life and its own particular aesthetic beauty."
Ailsa Boyd, the List

"Mackenzie paints landscapes, but he does so in a highly original way.... In works bearing such revealing titles as Underpass and Artificial Paradise, Mackenzie scars his landscapes with suggestions of a human presence, employing the callous precision of an architect's blueprint."
Iain Gale, Scotland On Sunday

"...beautiful and unsettling, paradise perhaps, but poised on the edge of a darker, more threatening world."
Susan Mansfield, The Scotsman
