For Lynsey MacKenzie, painting is a way to access an accumulation of memory, imagery, and observations – without the restraint of chronological time. This informs her work, which traces both fleeting recollections, and the liveness of instinctual mark making. Sensitive to the timbres of light and colour, her techniques are varied: dry brushing and dragged brushwork, meet spillages and geometric lines. In effect, engaging with MacKenzie’s large-scale pieces often feels like stepping into a new world. As when a shaft of light suddenly makes visible all the cosmic dust particles in the air, MacKenzie paints the unseen and transient into presence. Following in the line of feminist abstract painters such as Helen Frankenthaler and Joan Mitchell, her lyrical gestures truly beguile.
