Marie Canet is a French art critic, independent curator and professor of aesthetics.
Lucy McKenzie was born in 1977 in Glasgow (Scotland). She lives and works in Brussels. She studied at the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design in Dundee (Scotland), then specialised in trompe-l'œil at the Institut Supérieur de Peinture Van der Kelen Logelain in Brussels (Belgium). There she learned the foundations of decorative painting: preparation of surfaces, imitation of natural materials like marble and wood, and the play of ornamental illusion.
The artist works in the wider field of painting—often figurative and conceptual. Her appropriation practice aims to establish dialogue between seemingly antagonistic techniques and forms of knowledge, and to highlight the distinctiveness of these forms—be they from the realms of technique (traditional and contemporary), design, sculpture, underground cultures, or mass media.
