MACKENZIE THORPE Signed Limited
Edition Print ‘SUNDAY BEST’
General Information
Biography In the early 1990s, Mackenzie Thorpe set the art world alight
and that flame is still burning as brightly as ever. A global art phenomenon,
he has reached out across every conceivable boundary by drawing on the
universal themes that unite us all; love and isolation, life and death, joy and
sorrow, despair and hope.
Mackenzie is credited with changing the face of
art publishing in the UK and he has created one of the most recognizable and
acclaimed oeuvres in contemporary art. His considerable following includes the
author JK Rowling and HM Queen Elizabeth II and his original paintings,
published works and sculpture are held in private and corporate collections
across the globe. His collectors come from all walks of life and include famous
names from the worlds of sport, music, film, politics and royalty. He has also
undertaken many prestigious commissions for clients ranging from The Andre
Agassi Foundation and the Elton John Aids Foundation to Princess Anne and
William Hague.
After seeing a film about Van Gogh he began to
wonder whether he could transform his dream of being an artist into a reality.
His portfolio of work won him a place at art college and he went on to complete
a fine art degree in London. Married and with a family to support, he taught
art for a while, then moved to Richmond, North Yorkshire where he and his wife opened
an art materials shop.
He began to show his work in the window and over
time this ever changing art display began to make an impact. As the paintings
sold, word began to spread and soon he had a British manager and an American
publisher in his corner. His images began to appear on calendars and greetings
cards and demand spread like wildfire - the unstoppable force that is Mackenzie
Thorpe had emerged out of the shadows.
