Lecture by Lucy McKenzie at Sint Lucas Antwerpen

Artist list

Lucy McKenzie

Lucy McKenzie was born in Glasgow and lives and works in Brussels. Her training in painting techniques such as trompe l'oeil and faux marbre can be seen in her murals. In these paintings, sculptures and installations, she explores spaces such as a shopping street or shop windows but also the domestic environment. At Z33 in Hasselt, her work is on view in a large solo exhibition called ‘Super Palace’.

Lucy McKenzie works in the expanded field of artistic practice: she incorporates sculpture, painting, design, fashion and architecture into her work and exhibitions. Throughout her career,  McKenzie has investigated how the medium of painting operates within the broad spectrum of visual communication. By skillfully applying it to figures and objects, and using it as a monumental backdrop akin to both political murals and commercial advertising, she examines the functions and frictions of these different genres.

All are welcome, after registration, on Thursday 7 November, 19h-20 h.
At the Sint Lucas Antwerpen campus, Van Schoonbekestraat 143, Antwerp. The lecture will be in English.
