Lot Essay

‘McKenzie’s dexterous draftsmanship and punchy graphic sense has enabled her to develop a distinctive style; a kind of updated Jugendstil figuration spliced with a neo-New Romantic nostalgia, and a fatal attraction to rather self-consciously impeccable cultural reference points’ (L. McKenzie, quoted in https://www.frieze.com/issue/review/ lucy_mckenzie [accessed 8 August 2015]).
